| Hi all-
I am adding a skylight to my sunroom where I grow tropical and subtropical bonsai in the fall/winter season (outdoors in the late spring/summer) as well as overwinter some succulents. As I consider my options for this skylight, is there anything I should be thinking about? For example, I have read some of the literature out there about skylight glass that filters out a large percentage of UV rays (so that your furniture doesn't fade) but I am not sure I would want that for a straight out plant growing situation such as mine. Any advice out there? Thanks! Tom |

| Hello Tom, Plants really don't need UV light to grow well. If you don't need a UV filter then I would not have one on the skylights. My concern would be how much visible light the filter is also blocking out. That's what I would concentrate on. I hope this helps, Larry |
