And an organic life form. They tend to be very picky about the conditions they consider suitable. This involves variables like temperature, pressure, radiation, pH, water, concentration of several nutrients and so on. Once all of these are approximately right, the organism itself can handle all the fine tuning (AKA homeostasis).
Some life forms have a very narrow operational window, so you may be required to adjust the environment accordingly. For example, providing radiation in the 400-700 nm wavelength is usually acceptable. Radiation outside that range will not be utilized and may even have detrimental effects to DNA integrity.
Even UV (10…400 nm) can be harmful. Not all plants can handle that very well. Intensity plays a role too. Just a little bit of <400 nm radiation should be fine, but if you increase the power output, it’s going to start damaging the plant. Some plants actually produce compounds that mitigate the harmful effects of UV radiation.

I, also, am picky about these variables
📝 No gamma radiation…

I will take measures to regularly bombard Giorgio Jr with photons of said wavelength
