Plants use of reflected lighting
I was curious about whether or not plants can use any light that would be reflected from the underside of the plant. For example if I had sort of a reflective bowl under a plant to catch light from the sides and bounce it back up, can the plant use any of that light? I know that the tops of leaves is how it gathers light normally. I just wonder because I can easily do this without a whole lot of extra work and I just wanna know if there would be any benefit to that or not. My guess is no but I might as well ask.
