The most fundamental results revealed to be able to verify or reject prior agricultural theories for the full spectrum LEDs which better light sources than fluorescence LEDs. At 120 days after planting, full-spectrum LED lamps provided 94.56% which higher growth of Philodendron Lemon Lime, Philodendron Brasil than fluorescent LED lamps. It is proved that a vertical garden and the beauty of the vertical garden showing the best growth on the leaf shapes and colorful leaf of Philodendron Lemon Lime under full-spectrum lamps.
