Can plants grow on sun light reflected from mirror?

Yes.





Most mirrors will reflect all the various wavelengths of light. And even if the metal doesn't reflect UV (which are needed for photosynthesis), the glass covering the mirror will reflect them.





The only thing i'd be worried about is that you'd have to put a system for the mirror to always be aligned with the sun, otherwise your plant will only have sunlight a few hours a day.

Can plants grow on sun light reflected from mirror?
Yes, at long as they are getting enough light through the mirror.
Reply:Yes they can. In being reflected from the mirror, the light is not changed in any way - just reflected. Therefore the plants can photosynthesise just as normal. Much the same as plants being grown from artifical lights such as in hydroponic systems. All they need is 'light'.
Reply:Yes, they can even grow on light from light bulbs. Light is Light!
Reply:YES
