Detailed explanation-1: -If they do not get enough light, they will stop growing, making them look pale or yellowish. They may even fail to flower. That happens because plants need light for photosynthesis – without it, they start to wilt and eventually die because they will not have any food or nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -When plants lack light, they don’t produce chlorophyll (the green pigment in plants), and plants can turn pale green to yellow to white. Plant stems become “leggy, ” meaning stems become long and thin and appear to be reaching toward the source of light.
Detailed explanation-3: -The plant will die within a few hours as it cannot produce food without sunlight.
Detailed explanation-4: -It’s a chemical process called photosynthesis and it uses the energy of sunlight to create a form of sugar from water and carbon dioxide. Without several hours of light every day, a plant will basically starve to death, regardless of how much water or fertilizer you give it.
