Lighting Needs

Know what your plant needs

Does your plant prefer a humid tropical environment, or does it prefer to be watered less often? Can it withstand direct light or somewhere with a little more shade? 

All plants need some amount of light and water but beyond that there needs can be vastly different! Learn about your individual plant and see what the best way to take care of it is. Make sure you choose plants with needs you can meet: if you don't have good direct lighting in your house, you shouldn't choose a plant that needs bright light, or you should provide plant lighting for it.
