Location

The right location for your plant: Crucial for health and growth

Where you place your plant is critical to its health and growth. Each plant has unique light and moisture needs. By choosing the right location, you give your plant the best chance to flourish. Know where your plant feels most comfortable to ensure optimal growth and vitality.

Stand in full sun

Plants that need a lot of direct sunlight are best placed near a south, west or east-facing window. Make sure they are no further than two meters from the window, as the light intensity decreases significantly beyond that. Plants that require a position in the full sun require, need at least five hours of sunlight a day. Below are some of our toppers that love sunlight.

Alocasia

The Alocasia, also called Elephant Ear, is a tropical plant with impressively large leaves. This plant brings an exotic atmosphere to any room. The Alocasia is native to India, where it is used to a lot of sunlight. Therefore, give this plant a location with plenty of direct sunlight to reach its full potential. Keep in mind that the Alocasia needs a little more attention than the average houseplant, especially when it comes to water. However, make sure not to overwater to avoid root rot.

Banana plant

The tough banana plant is notable for its large, green leaves with a striking dark purple pattern. This plant is 80% water and therefore has a high water requirement. The leaves can even repel water, resulting in droplets at the tips of the leaves. A position in full sun and regular care will ensure that the banana plant does well. This plant is also safe for pets and has an air-purifying effect, making it a perfect addition to your home decor.

Plot in Half-Shade

Plants that prefer to be in half-shade are ideally placed two to three feet from the window. Exceptions are north-facing windows, where you don't need to keep a distance. Plants in this category need three to five hours of sunlight a day for optimal growth. Here are some of our favorite half-shade houseplants.

Orchid

The Orchid is a beloved flowering houseplant and comes in many varieties. The Phalaenopsis family, to which the Orchid belongs, is non-toxic and therefore safe for children and pets. This plant needs weekly watering, but be careful of both over-watering and too bright sunlight. A position in semi-shade is perfect for this beautiful plant, which will surprise you with its flowers.

Pitch in Normal Daylight

Many houseplants do well in normal daylight. This means that they do not need a specific distance from a window, but neither should they be in direct sunlight. Let these plants get used to their location slowly and adjust if necessary.

Philodendron

This houseplant, known for its striking leaves, is native to rain forests, where it climbs trees and rocks. The Philodendron is easy to take care of and thrives well in normal daylight, but avoid bright sunlight. Keep the soil moist, but make sure it does not stay too wet to prevent root rot.
