How Much Sunlight Should My Plant Receive Each Day?
Sun Exposure Terminology
Understanding your plants sunlight requirements can be a daunting task. Below lists all of the proper terminology with their definitions to help you be the best plant parent you can be.
Full Sun: If your seed packet or plant needs full sun, you will want to keep it in a place where the plant will receive full sun for 6-8 hours a day. Place your plant near a south facing or outdoors where there is no shade.
Partial Sun: If your plant requires partial shade, it needs 3-5 hours of sunlight each day. It may be best to keep your plant in a place where it won’t get exposed to direct sunlight for too long.
Partial Shade: this means that your plant needs to be in shade for at least half of the day. 2 hours of sunlight will be optimal for plants that require partial shade.
Full Shade: this does not mean no sunlight, this just means to keep your plant in an area where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Indirect Bright Light: your plant should be located in an area where it still receives sunlight but it is located in the shade.
