Signs of light deprivation stress in plants can manifest in various ways, reflecting the impact of insufficient light exposure on their growth and development. One of the most common indicators is elongated or leggy growth, where plants stretch toward any available light source, resulting in weak stems and poor structural integrity.
In some cases, plants may exhibit stunted growth or delayed flowering, as their internal biological clocks struggle to adapt to the altered light cycles. Stress may lead to the development of smaller leaves or reduced leaf size, compromising the plant's ability to capture light efficiently.
