A common question asked of our garden center staff is, "How much light does this houseplant need?" The answer will usually be one of these: 1) direct sun; 2) bright, indirect light; 3) medium light; or 4) low light. The followup question is, "How do I figure out how much light I have in my house?"

You can use a simple shadow test — ideally before you buy a plant — to get a rough idea of the light levels in different parts of your home. Then you can choose plants to suit the locations. Or maybe your heart is set on a certain orchid and wonder, is that window location too bright? Or you've fallen for light-loving succulents — will they thrive on this shelf? The shadow test will help you decide.

A variety of large and small houseplants, situated on the floor and on plant stands, in a brightly lit room.

Giving each plant the light it needs is the first step to creating an indoor oasis, where plants not only add beauty, but also release oxygen. Ahhhh.
