Got a houseplant query? Our expert is here to help. This week: working out how much sun your windows get and which plants to place in them
What’s the problem?
I want to give my plants the best possible spot in my home, but I’m unsure which windows provide the right light. How do I figure out where each plant will thrive?
Diagnosis
Light is one of the most important factors in houseplant health, and different windows create different growing conditions: south-facing windows get intense, direct light all day, perfect for cacti and succulents; east-facing windows receive a soft morning sun, ideal for ferns, peace lilies and prayer plants; west-facing windows provide stronger afternoon sun, suiting monsteras, hoyas and rubber plants; north-facing windows get low, indirect light, best for snake plants, ZZ plants and pothos.
