Light Requirements

Bright indirect light

Most common foliage plants want bright indirect light: enough light to read comfortably and cast a soft shadow, without hours of harsh sun.

Growth clues

Long gaps between leaves, leaning stems, small new leaves, and fading variegation often signal insufficient light. Scorched patches can signal too much direct sun.
