Most of the vegetables they need light for photosynthesis, to grow. However, each type of vegetable they need different light intensity to grow. There are vegetables that tolerate the sun well, the bigger the sun, the stronger they grow. But there are also varieties that cannot tolerate high temperatures, they only grow well when the light intensity is low.
The cultivation of these shade-loving vegetables also needs to have their own principles.

2. How does light affect the growth of vegetables?
Light has a huge impact on the growth of plants. Specifically:
- Brightness: Vegetables need a sufficient amount of light to grow. Light is the source of “free energy” for vegetables to photosynthesize. Vegetables grown will convert solar energy into Glucose for growth. Light levels depend on the type of vegetable grown and the stage of growth
- Light time: The length of time receiving light per day also affects the growth rate more or less. Each type of vegetable needs different lighting time to grow. For short-term vegetables, the lighting time will be about 6-8 hours/day. With long-term fruits and vegetables, the lighting time is from 8-10 hours/day
- Canopy: Canopy is the extent to which large trees cover smaller trees, which also affects the light they receive. If the small tree is covered too much by the large trees, the light cannot reach enough and the plant will also become weak, and the yield will be poor.
In short, light plays an extremely important role in the growth rate of vegetables. To ensure good growth of vegetables, quick harvest, no pests, … it is extremely important to provide and plant them where there is enough light time/day. So do you know what shade-loving vegetables include? Let’s find out together.
