I have an experimental set-up wherein I expose my rose plant to only an incandescent light 15 inches away?

INTELLECTUAL ANSWERS/GUESSES PLEASE. what do you think would happen to the plant? would it live or barely thrive? would it grow or stay the way it was before the experiment? conducting an experiment along side an intellectual survey. Thank you!

When growing plants with everyday lighting, most aficionados use both incandescent and flourescent lighting together, as incandescent lights emit light along the red/orange spectrum, and flourescents emit light along the blue spectrum. The combination of these two spectrums provides a closer substitute to natural sunlight than a single type of light would alone.





We should also consider the heat emissions from your incandescent light - they may put growing conditions for the plant outside the acceptable range.





Relatively few plants can survive well under artificial lighting, and roses are not among those that do. I suspect your rose plant will go into gradual decline and die within 4 weeks or so. Maybe less, maybe more.
Reply:It depends on how powerfull the bulb(in the lamp!) is, if its a 60 watt bulb it will thrive easily enough because light is light to a plant, whether its from the sun or a lamp. what you should be concerned about is it getting enough air. plants breathe carbon dioxide by day and they need a good supply of it but they can also breathe oxygen at night by a process called photorespiration which helps to make the plant's food so if you're room is small I would sugest leaving the windows open a bit to le some air in. It all depends on how big the plant is but it should grow if you give it water and light as well as good soil thats at p.h. 7 and keeping the local environment at 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit, these are optimum plant temperatures for growth.
