Why Red Shade Cloth? What Is The Difference? What Is It Best For?

Key Features of Red Shade Cloth: 

Enhances Photosynthesis : Red light is absolutely vital for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into energy. Red shade cloth increases the red and far-red light spectrum, which can lead to healthier plants that produce more yield. 

Encourages Flowering: Red light can influence and increase flowering in many plants, making red shade cloth a good choice for fruit-bearing crops and many ornamental plants.

Reduces Heat Stress: Red Shade Cloth can protect plants from Heat Stress by blocking excessive amounts of Sunlight and UV Rays that may be harmful to plants.

Increases Foliage and Roots: Red Shade Cloth is able to Increase Foliage and Roots in plants because it is the natural reaction for plants to do those two actions when they are hit with an increase in red light that would come from something like a Red Shade Cloth being around them.

Advantages of Red Shade Cloth: 

Reflective Quality: Unlike some of the darker shade clothes, red shade cloth excels at reflecting sunlight, This means that it can help prevent overheating and ensure a cooler environment for plants underneath, especially during some of the peak summer days when temperatures are at their highest. 

Uniform Light Diffusion: The Red Color of this Shade Cloth diffuses sunlight uniformly, ensuring that all of the plants under it receive an even spread and share of the sunlight. This can promote more consistent growth among crops and ornamental plants and will lead to better crop results and less wasted seeds or plants.  

Reduces Sunburn Risk: Plants, just like us humans, can get sunburned or damaged from the sun. A Red Shade Cloth helps protect delicate plants from direct, harsh sunlight and UV Rays which reduces the chances of sunburn. 

Energy Saving: For those on you who are using Red Shade Cloth in greenhouses, the reflective nature of Red Shade Cloth can lead to energy savings as it may reduce the need for additional cooling.
