Light is always an issue for houseplants. All plants require it, some more than others. Photosynthesis, the process by which plants grow, is triggered by light. There are four basic light categories for houseplants:
* Sunny areas receive at least five hours of direct sunlight in the winter. This is usually a southeast, south, or southwest-facing window.
4c Semi-sunny areas receive two to five hours of sunlight daily. This is usually an east or westrfadng window.
* Semi-shady areas have bright, open light, but no direct sunlight.
* Shady areas receive no sunlight, but just enough light to cast a shadow.
Learn about a plant’s light requirements before purchase, and choose plants that will grow in the light you can provide them. If you have southfacing windows, choose plants that will tolerate high fight. Don’t fry your ferns in a sunny window. If you have only shady areas, choose low-light plants or supplement with artificial fights. Leggy plants reaching toward a window are indicating that they need more light.
There are many good plant fights on the market today. Set them on a timer for that special specimen plant, and put the light away when company arrives.
