The present invention solves the problems of the related art by an interrupted light treatment for plant or crops cultivation with artificial light, with a sudden increase and sudden decrease in light intensity of a horticulture light appliance at a light spectrum suitable or optimal for the plant growth, while saving illumination energy of the lighting device. In accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention is broadly drawn to a plant cultivation method whereby the plants are alternately under periods of pulsed light irradiating during an irradiation period followed by a non-irradiation (dark) period and whereby the light irradiation period pulses have an even or uneven pulse width between 1 to 60 seconds of irradiation, with a duty cycle of minimum 70 %, and a 0,1 to 15 seconds episodes of low-or non-irradiation in between the light irradiation pulses.
