Let's chat light levels with Houseplants

Location can seem to be a tricky game, when it comes to indoor plants. While each house may have different microclimates, it can be tough to know the ideal light conditions when placing a plant in your home. Are your plants getting too much light, or not enough light? Not to worry - our simple guide below makes it easy to figure out how much light each of your plant babies need.

BRIGHT DIRECT LIGHT:

Plants such as Kalanchoe, Succulents, Cacti and Tradescantia Zebrina prefer an area right by a window that gets loads of bright direct light.

BRIGHT INDIRECT LIGHT:

Plants such as Monstera, Peperomia and Calathea thrive in an area that receives bright indirect light.

MEDIUM LIGHT:

Plants such as African Violet and Bird’s Nest Fern prefer an area not too close to a window in a spot which receives medium levels of light.

LOW LIGHT:

Plants such as Snake Plant (Sansevieria), Spider Plant, ZZ Plant and Peace Lily prefer a well shaded spot with low levels of light.

Our downloadable diagram shows how light can vary within a room and where your house plants will thrive!
