Improving How You Grow Plants in Your Home or Office

Making life a little greener – that’s our mission and our passion here at Soltech. We continuously innovate with the sole intent of making the integration of plants into indoor spacesgreenfit as beautiful and effortless as possible. That’s why we are introducing the service of ‘Greenfitting’. What is Greenfitting? A term originally coined by the team here at Soltech, to “Greenfit™” is to outfit or retrofit rooms with indirect supplemental plant lighting in addition to any direct supplemental plant lighting. Through greenfitting, plants and spaces are provided with softer, more evenly spread, and fuller supplemental photosynthetic lighting. Traditionally, plant lights are marketed and sold in a strictly light-to-plant method. They promote the idea of directly supporting the plants through the support of a grow light. Greenfitting will allow customers to additionally support their plants and spaces with indirect photosynthetic, ambient lighting that can be retrofitted to their pre-existing light fixtures. This serves to add a supplemental photosynthetic layer of light to any space.

This opportunity is unique to Soltech and our customers because of the high value placed on our plant lights’ appearance as well as growing power. Soltech’s competitors typically offer bulbs that boast décor capability but still give off bluish and reddish hues. On a small scale this is not as noticeable to the human eye, but when used on a medium or large scale these hues become an amplified eyesore to customers. Soltech’s plant lights maintain their highly precise growing capability while illuminating rooms with the highest quality ambient lighting. Through “greenfitting”, homeowners can effortlessly create more plant-friendly spaces, businesses can allow their employees to comfortably grow plants at their desks, and more importantly, everyone can make their lives a little greener.

White fuzz or dark smudges on a terracotta pot are one of the most common things plant owners search for, and the good news is that it is almost always easy to explain and even easier to fix.

Succulents need six to eight hours of bright light a day to stay healthy, according to South Dakota State University Extension, but many of the spots homeowners love to style them, bookshelves, bathroom vanities, dark entryway consoles, fall well short of that. Styling succulents well and keeping them alive both come down to matching the display spot to the plant's actual light needs, not just picking a pretty vessel. This guide covers why succulents have become such a popular decor choice, how much light they truly need, the riskiest styling spots, how to catch warning signs early, and how to keep the look without sacrificing the plant.

Houseplants absorb light through chlorophyll to fuel photosynthesis, the type of light reaching a plant matters just as much as how much of it there is. Direct light means unfiltered sun rays landing straight on a plant's leaves, while indirect light has been filtered, diffused, or bounced off another surface before it reaches the plant. This guide breaks down what actually separates the two, why the difference determines whether a plant thrives or scorches, and how to tell which one you're actually working with at home.
