Love With Light
Your plants love light. Lighting can be tricky in a home, sometimes you’ll have a window that blasts sunlight and can damage your poor plant friends, and other times you will have a room in total darkness! We have some ideas for your lighting needs:
Artificial Grow Lights:
Are you struggling with no window light in your home? You can purchase artificial grow lights that cater directly to any of your plants needs! Grow lights come in different varieties, colors, temperatures, and décor styles. You can even DIY your own grow lights by grabbing some grow-light bulbs from a home improvement store and create your own plant sanctuary indoors! These lights are specially designed to mimic natural light, stimulating photosynthesis and allowing your plants to grow their best.
Natural Sunlight:
Window light is your plant’s best friend! Be careful with placing some houseplants in a South facing window, it might create too much heat in the Summer or too much sunlight, causing sunburn. Plants in a South facing window will thrive if you put a little filter in the window, using blinds or curtains. East or West facing windows are ideal for indoor plants. If you place your plants in a North facing window, add in some grow lights or choose low-light plants for this area of your home.
Low-light Plants:
Some plants will grow just fine in a lower-light room. But remember, all plants need some degree of light to thrive and survive! Here’s a list of some houseplants that are suitable for low light environments:
ZZ Plants
Pothos
Birds Nest Fern
Snake Plant
Philodendron
Spider Plant
Peace Lily
Monstera
Calathea
