Can a plant photosynthesize from moonlight?

I have an indoor plant that wilts in the sun after about an hour. Can it get the desired "sunlight" off the moon? Or is it perfectly ok with indoor lighting?

The moon isn't bright enough for any photosynthesis to occur. You will need indoor lighting. You usually want to keep grow lights about 1 foot from the tops of the plants.
Reply:Indoor or indirect (like behind a curtain) lighting is perfectly fine.


I would just leave it indoors, near, but not in, a window.


If it's outdoors, place it under a tree where it won't be directly in any sunbeams.
