PlantIndirect light.
Light that reaches a plant after scattering, reflection, or filtering rather than as an unobstructed direct sunbeam.
What it means for your plants
Indirect light ranges from very dim to bright. The word alone does not describe enough intensity or duration to choose a plant location. Observe the actual foliage position across the day.
IN PRACTICE
A plant beside a sheer-curtained window may receive bright filtered light, while a plant behind a bookcase receives much less.
Put it into practice
Understand bright indirect light, window direction, seasonal changes, and how to choose a better location for indoor plants.
