Plants We Love - Bright Light

In New England bright light usually means the South or SW facing windows of your home. Plants that need bright indirect light can be placed up to several feet away from a S or SW window or in a windowsill if the window that has a sheer over it. To determined if you have bright light, at noon when the sun is the brightest, come close to the spot where you are planning to place a plant and inspect the shadow, if it is strong and well-defined then you have bright light.
