Does my houseplant get enough light? Growth, windows and grow lights
A bright room is not bright everywhere at leaf level. Assess a growing position, use supplemental light and investigate slow growth before adding fertiliser.
Light and growth for houseplants
Understand indirect light, light measurements and grow lights. Find a practical starting point for your houseplant’s location.
What does bright indirect light mean for a spot near your window? The light guide explains the terms, lux and foot-candles, and grow lights. Start with the definitions when interpreting care advice, or use the measurement section to compare locations at home.
With a grow light, also read about distance and lighting duration. One measurement does not describe the entire day. Record what you change so you can compare new growth with earlier observations.
