Types of Lighting Why must the sun work the way it does? Why can’t it always be positioned in a way so all our plants get the perfect amount of light? Here’s the thing, you can spend all your time looking at the intricacies of lights for your plants and strategically move them to get the best light possible, or you can just shove them all in the window and hope for the best. My truth is that once summer hits, all my plants get put on my front porch for MAXIUM SUN EXPOSURE and they’re all doing pretty good. But if you find that does not work for you, here’s some basic lighting info. For reference, south facing windows will give you the strongest source of sunlight. Sucks to be you if you don’t have a south facing window. Just kidding, your next best option would be a west facing window. Just look around your home and find the window that seems to get the sun light for the longest period and go with that one.

Direct Light

This is basically the equivalent to placing a plant right outside. You can also get this light by placing a plant right at a south facing window for the strongest amount of sunlight. Pay attention, I said this already.

Bright Light

What’s the difference between direct and bright light? Not much. Possibly just a windowpane or a west facing window.
