Spray Paint

[ChatNoir]

I wonder if it will work. My plan is to have a small place (50cm width, 150cm lenght and 150cm height) spray inside (including pots) with white spray paint to have maximum light reflectiveness. I do not have access to mylar so I've found this as an alternative.

White paint is the next best thing. Mylar would still be preferable. You can order it on the internet from many different places and at reasonable prices. Just a thought. I wouldn't use spray paint though. I think a can of paint and a paintbrush would be better. Make sure to find the appropriate color of white paint also. I've never used it personally but I'm pretty sure there are a couple particular brands of white paint that are more reflective than the rest. Another thought, I wouldn't paint the pots. Doesn't sound like that great of an idea to me. Hope this helps. Keep us posted on what you do. Take care and be safe.

Me neither.

Why not? Paint is oil soluble so no risk of plant contamination and only outside for maximum reflection of light.

A side note, I wish I could but I can not order anything from online, they charge ridiclous amounts of tax for out of country orders as I am neither living in Europe nor in USA or Canada...

IMHO, painting the outside of the pots will give you no extra light ... perhaps a miniscule amount at floor level, but nothing that would be beneficial to your plants in any way.
