If we put a hot-house or indoor plant outside in the blazing summer sun, it will probably die. Remembering that the sun throws out powerful radiation can save us from experiencing such a disappointment. The sun’s rays consist of different wavelengths, a bundle of rays that can be likened to a cable made up of many wires, each one with its own frequency. We should not forget that the ray complex of the sun puts a great strain on plants, animals and humans. The effect can be illustrated by considering the sun’s energy in terms of electric voltage. For example, if a power point has been set for 380 volts and we plug in an appliance that is adjusted for 220 volts, the difference in voltage will create heat and can burn out the appliance. Similarly, a destructive effect can result in unhealthy plants because, figuratively speaking, the higher voltage will damage the weak plant. Instead of charging or invigorating the plant, the sun’s energy will destroy it. Plants that are damaged, maggoty or infected with insect pests will live longer if they are not exposed to intense sunlight, better still if they are kept out of the sun altogether.
