Proper location for houseplants: Half-shade
The location of your houseplant is crucial to its health and growth. Houseplants that thrive best in semi-shade have specific needs when it comes to light. The ideal location for these plants is often about 2-3 meters from the window, where they have access to indirect light. If you want to place the plant closer to a window, choose a north-facing window to avoid the plant receiving too much direct sunlight. Other good spots are next to a window, under a balcony, or in front of a smaller window, where less sunlight enters.
Why choose semi-shade?
Houseplants that like semi-shade do not cope well with direct sunlight. If these plants receive too much sunlight, their leaves may dry out and they will quickly weaken. Half-shade basically means normal daylight-these plants can tolerate a little sunlight, but avoid full sun exposure.
