21 Square Meters of UV stabilized Net ( Size: 4.2 X 5 m) GREEN IN COLOR (Wrap knit Fabric)
Summer Sun light which falls into balconies and verandas for only a short while while sun makes a fiery arc across the sky causes Sun Burns on Cacti and Succulents because they are not used to the harsh sun as they are in shade for most part of the day.
A 50 % shade net gives dappled shade . This width and length is ideal for draping over balconies.
All you need to do is stitch it with a cord or rope.
A loose shade net gives dappled shade because of movement of net in wind and the movement of sun.
Thick and heavy Shade nets which are meant for foliage plants like ferns and Bromeliads.
Ideal for North India in summer months of May and June.
Plants which are kept in balconies which have only afternoon direct sunshine for a couple of hours are more prone to scorching. They do need shade nets to protect the plants from the intensity of sunlight as the plant is more accustomed to staying in shade. So, a shade net hung across the balcony helps the plants in intense summers.
Green shade nets have a distinct advantage in horticultural applications due to their ability to simulate natural foliage, thereby promoting a more harmonious microclimate for plants. The chlorophyll-like pigment in green nets provides a more diffuse and softening effect on sunlight, reducing the intensity of direct solar radiation while maintaining a balanced spectral distribution. This spectral aspect is critical because green shade nets allow a higher percentage of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), which includes the wavelengths of light most essential for photosynthesis. Consequently, plants exhibit healthier growth with improved photosynthetic efficiency compared to those under black nets that absorb and disperse a broader spectrum of light, potentially leading to reduced light quality for the plants. Moreover, green nets tend to transmit more light in the intensity range optimal for plant development, such as in fruiting and flowering stages, thus encouraging vigorous growth and higher yield potential.
From a thermal perspective, green shade nets offer a moderated temperature environment compared to black nets. Being less absorptive, green nets result in lower heat accumulation beneath the canopy, contributing to a cooler and more stable microclimate that minimizes heat stress and water loss through transpiration. This characteristic is especially advantageous in regions with intense solar radiation, where maintaining a stable temperature can significantly impact plant health and productivity. Additionally, the aesthetic benefits of green shade nets, which blend seamlessly into natural environments, reduce visual pollution and provide a more pleasant aesthetic for open-space or landscape gardening, thereby making them ideal for commercial nurseries, greenhouses, and outdoor cultivation areas.
