Plant Care

Find out which direction your windows face. Fastest way to do this is to use the compass that comes on your smartphone OR look for where the sun sets and rises. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. North and South are easy to figure out from there. Southern exposure is ideal for plants. East and West facing exposure are also good. With Eastern light, you will notice during the winter solstice that your light will decrease significantly. Its okay, just make sure to decrease watering and dont expect much growth from your plants. Northern exposure has the least amount of light and you should consider low-light plants for your home. PRO TIP: with too much sun, some plants can get a sunburn. Ferns, pothos, certain palms, ivy, peace lily, aglaonema, etc. are some of the plants on the sensitive foliage list.
