4 Ideas Bring Light to House Plants WITHOUT Electricity no kidding!


Light houseplants without electricity.

  • Set plants on a tray of white pebbles.
  • Position mirrors so they reflect light back on plants.
  • Paint the shelf or wall near the plants with flat white paint.
  • Cover folding screens with shiny Mylar or anything white
If your yard is small...
  • Plant climbers like cucumbers next to a fence.
  • Put attractive vegetables, like eggplant and peppers, in the front yard.
  • Grow solid blocks of vegetables in small beds 3" wide for easy weeding.
No yard at all...
  • Cucumbers, peppers, herbs and lettuce thrive in containers on a porch, patio or apartment balcony. 
  • Put several inches of pebbles in a container that has holes for drainage;       fill with potting soil...water daily in summer... liquid fertilizer once per week.
