Houseplants in full sun
Houseplants putting plants in full sun can give your interior a radiant boost, but it requires the right choices. Sun-loving plants such as cacti, succulents and certain tropical plants thrive in direct sunlight. They harness that energy to grow vigorously, bloom beautifully and give your home a vibrant look. But beware: not every plant can appreciate sunlight. Put a shade plant in full sun, and you risk scorched leaves, unsightly discoloration and a plant that looks anything but happy. The solution? Go for plants that love sunlight, give them the right care - a splash of water and a little love - and you create an attractive, sunny spot that makes everyone happy!
Which houseplants can go in full sun?
Houseplants that can stand in full sun share some notable characteristics. They often come from arid or tropical regions where they are accustomed to bright sun and high temperatures. Think sturdy, thick leaves that can hold water, like succulents, or plants with a waxy coating that protects them from drying out. These sun worshippers are perfect for a spot in a sunny window frame or a bright greenhouse. Want to be sure which plants are suitable for a sunny location? On our website you will find clear guidelines for the ideal place in your home for each plant. This way you always choose the right plant for your interior and give your green friends the best chance to shine!

Taking care of full sun houseplants
When caring for houseplants that are in full sun, there are some important considerations. These plants require adequate light, but it is crucial to find the right balance because too much direct sunlight can also cause damage.
Watering
Plants in full sun usually need more water than their shade-loving counterparts because the sun can evaporate moisture faster. It is important to check the potting soil regularly and water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry. This is because too much water can in turn lead to root rot, especially in plants that dry out quickly in the sun. In summer it may be necessary to water daily, while in winter this can usually be reduced.
Too much sunlight
If a plant receives too much sunlight, the leaves may burn, discolor or turn edges brown. If this happens, try placing the plant in a slightly less sunny spot or shade the plant slightly during the hottest hours of the day to reduce the risk of burning. It may also help to rotate the plant occasionally so that all sides get the same amount of light, which helps prevent uneven growth.
