Plant Growth

Successful plant growth depends on precise control over environmental conditions. Temperature, humidity, light, water and nutrients affect how a plant grows, reproduces and responds to stress. A dedicated plant growth chamber allows researchers to manage conditions for consistent, measurable results across growth cycles.

By maintaining optimal humidity, temperature and light levels, users can promote efficient transpiration and maximize the plant’s most critical metabolic function: photosynthesis.

Key Growth Conditions by Phase

Environmental needs change based on where a plant is in its life cycle. Controlled environments help maintain stability during each phase, reducing risk and supporting predictable growth.

Growth Phase	Ideal Temperature	Recommended Humidity
Vegetative	25°C	60–70%
Flowering	28°C	40–50%

 Memmert plant growth chambers provide tight control over temperature and humidity, making them ideal for research involving crop development, breeding programs or plant growth regulators.

Light Intensity by Application

Each plant type has its own light requirements. Providing the correct level of light energy supports photosynthesis and influences plant development, morphology and yield.

Application/Plant Type	Typical Light Intensity (μmol/m²/s)
Seed Germination	< 80
Plant Tissue Culture	50–150
Arabidopsis / Algae	~300
Crops / Ornamentals	400–500
Cannabis / Tobacco	900+
Plant Pathology Studies	150–300 (insect-safe chamber advised)

Plant growth chambers from Memmert provide programmable lighting to simulate natural day/night cycles or specific conditions for each experiment.

Comprehensive Control for Maximum Yield

Optimizing light, water, CO₂ levels, temperature and nutrition creates ideal growth conditions for research and production. When combined with plant growth regulators, a properly configured chamber helps drive root development, flowering, fruiting and stress resistance.
