Plants get their energy from a procedure known as photosynthesis. Through this process, they utilize UV light, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugars, which serve as their energy source. An added benefit is their production of oxygen, essential for our breathing.
Typically, photosynthesis takes place during daylight hours. However, with the aid of specialized UV lights, we can enable plants to continue this process even during nighttime or in locations devoid of natural sunlight.
