what would a green plant not be able to growing  in a dark cellar?

All plants need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis, which is one of the ways the get their "food."  Therefore, no green plant will grow in a dark cellar.

that`s not normal for that plant. If you check the page that you send  with the question , it says that it`s a plant from Madagascar . That island is in a tropical zone , so there's`s not freezing temperatures in there, so that plant it`s getting hurt because of the cold . In the tropical plants , when the temperature goes below 0ºC , the water inside the cells freezes, forms ice  and it  breaks the cell membrane , so what you see in your plant  n the morning are dead cells. Please try to put it in a warm place at night

put the plant in a box, with only a small opening for light. by small i mean about 2 inches by 2 inches. the plant will actually grow and bend in the direction of the light. leaves and branches will eventually start to grow out of the hole. it has to, or else it will die. maybe you can see which species does this fastest? just an idea.

Agree with the two above if the plant is kept sterile and fed sterile apple juice.  Otherwise, it would be very easy for fungi and bacteria to overgrow the root system.

The spider plant\n\nand the other link has a couple more

I did an experiment with this in graduate school.  When a plant has limited to no light, it invests all of its energy and growth into finding a light source.  In my experiment, the plant grew very tall and had very few leaves (since it could not go through photosynthesis anyway, why bother).  It was a very interested experiment and proved that even plant have priorities.

Plants, i think. look in a dictionnary or online.

the flower will die because of lack of photosynthesis

Plants can sustain photosynthesis (and release oxygen) from any lightsource that has enough energy. But plants can also get stressed by too much light and actually get sick. They might also grow in unnatural ways, like growing sprouts all over, if "fed" the wrong amount of light for too long periods of time. \n\nPlants are tuned to natural light during ordinary hours but some plants can even "OD" on sunlight. When the sun shines too hot during a hot day they sometimes shutdown photosynthesis and begin to perspire. \n\nIt all comes down to what kind of plant it is. An ordinary house plant should release oxygen if the artificial light is not too intensive.

I have a plant sitting in my office.  I would say it is about 8.5 to 9 feet.  That is my closest plant.

Here ya go (from the link):\n\n"Green [induced in alternating light-dark periods] microtubers were better than white [induced in continuous dark] microtubers for subsequent crop performance for most of the characters including tuber yield and general impression."  (Very technical first link.)\n\nBreaking that down for you: it's not in the growing that you find the difference.  All potato plants need light to grow.\n\nBut if when you are inducing the potatoes to grow - getting them to sprout - you keep them in keep then in the dark, they turn out worse than if you give them a span daylight before planting them.\n\nI have to apologize - I can't find any easy reading on this on the Internet - so these are hard-to-read scientific abstracts.

No, that should be perfectly safe.  Moss is a type of primitive plant it won't hurt you.  I would be more worried about the health of the plant, some moss plants can be sensitive to light and salt levels.  I would water it with rain water or demineralised water because most tap water has too much salts and would make the plant unhealthy.  I would start by keeping the plant on a windowsill so that it gets a good amount of light, if you have it in a dark room it may not get enough light to photosynthesise.  \nHope this helps

most house plants should be able to grow under those conditions...they sell speial flourescent likes that are taylored for plants but a normal one should do the trick

Plants cannot change color in and of themselves.  What could happen, though, is that one plant could be pollinated by a neighboring plant and it would produce seed that contained some of the characteristics of both plants.

not neccessarily. the heat will likely have a "ph effect" on the plants. if doesn't mater if the water is cold or hot, but it rather does matter if it has nutrients and sun.\n\nalso, too hot of a water will likely cook the roots, which means a dead plant! What does affect plant growth is the amount of sun it has.\n\nhumidity does have it affect on plants. humidity it basically the heat of the water in the air (people say its kinda sticky like)\n\nso overall answer, always use room temperature water for best results!

The classic indoor plant of british literature is the Aspidistra (see link). A similar plant is the so-called "Happy Plant" (Dracaena). Any plant that grows on the forest floor in almost constant shade would be good for diffuse light. Se second link for lots of examples.

plants require visible spectrum for photosynthesis. the light you can see is the light they can use. green is least effective. red and blue are most.
