Light Made Easy: Where to Place Plants for Shorter Days

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.
