Essential Plant Care Guidance: Sunlight Requirements

Proper sunlight is vital for the health and growth of plants. Understanding the sunlight requirements of your plants is crucial to ensure they thrive. Here's a guide to help you provide the right amount of sunlight for your green companions.

1. Full Sun Plants

Plants that require full sun need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Examples include most vegetables, herbs like rosemary and lavender, and flowering plants like sunflowers.

2. Partial Sun/Partial Shade Plants

These plants thrive in 3-6 hours of sunlight per day. They can tolerate some shade during the day. Examples include ferns, begonias, and some types of hostas.

3. Full Shade Plants

Plants that prefer full shade should receive less than 3 hours of direct sunlight per day. Examples include peace lilies, ferns, and some varieties of moss.

Remember to observe your plants and adjust their sunlight exposure as needed. Providing the right amount of sunlight will contribute significantly to the overall well-being of your plants.
