I've noticed plants do poorly behind windows at my office (thick glass, newer glass) despite being South facing (northern hemisphere). At home in a windowsill behind glass from the 60s they thrive.
Anyone had a similar experience? Think it could be because of the office glass?
- DenisM 8y agoOffice glass is heat-shielded to reduce AC costs. That's be my guess - lack of IR.
- adrianN 8y agoI think it's more likely that they don't like the warm dry air produced by the radiators that are typically installed below the windows. Chlorophyll doesn't absorb much UV.
