Is it true that plants can be successfully grown indoors using artificial lighting?
Yes. Multiple studies demonstrate that various plant species, including vegetables, herbs, and micropropagated crops, can be successfully cultivated indoors using artificial lighting systems such as LEDs.

The analysis
The claim states that plants can be successfully grown indoors using artificial lighting. Multiple retrieved sources (e.g., papers 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11) directly report the successful indoor cultivation, micropropagation, or vertical farming of various crops (such as basil, strawberries, lettuce, marjoram, and duckweed) using artificial LED lighting. No papers refute the core claim.
