Daylight Access Today we Spring Forward, which means…a whole hour more you get to spend with your plants! While your plants aren’t actually keeping time, it’s a good moment to check if they’re correctly placed according to their light needs. A general sense goes a long way in keeping your plants happy. -
Direct Light - The most intense light that indoor spaces receive and where plants may be exposed directly to the sun's rays. Only few types of tropicals appreciate direct sunlight such as Birds of Paradise, Palms, Cactus and Succulents. -
Bright Indirect Light - It’s not direct, but it is steady and bright. Think: the spots right next to a window that receives a dash of direct light (but not more than an hour a day) before being obstructed. This is what many indoor plants prefer as it’s most similar to the light in tropical jungles. -
Medium Light - The areas of a room that are about half the distance between a window and back wall. These areas still receive steady light from windows, but it is not direct. Plants that do okay here are Dracaenas and Philodendrons. -
Low Light - Areas that are 7+ feet from windows or that receive no natural light. While all plants need some form of light nutrition, certain varities such as Snake Plants can adapt. Curious to learn more? Check out our full article on “Light Requirements for Plants”. |
