Hook
A 2-minute window map saves months of leggy growth and overwatering.
Steps
- Stand at each window at noon. If you can comfortably read a book, it’s bright-indirect.
- East windows = gentle morning sun (great for most foliage).
- South/West = strongest; move plants 3–6 feet back or use sheer curtains.
- Raise lights: place trailing plants on shelves closer to the pane for winter.
- If corners stay dim, add a 10–20W LED grow bar, 10–12 in. above leaves, 10–12 hrs/day.
Key Takeaways
- East = friendly; South/West = strong—add distance or sheers.
- Grow bars fill dark corners without overheating.
- Good light reduces overwatering and disease.
Sprouty’s Quick Tip
Mark ideal spots with painter’s tape; rotate plants through these hot zones weekly.
