Otherwise, you can add grow lights near your plants for supplemental light. Not enough light in your room? Light colored walls and mirrors that reflect light from windows will help brighten up the place.

You can also place a low light plant in the center of a room away from windows. Is northern light all you've got? Trying to add some greenery to your dorm room or office? Low light plants might be best for you.

Otherwise, you could place an indirect light plant in the middle of a bright, sun-filled room farther from the windows. Within 3-5 feet of the light source would be ideal. Plants that require medium light should be placed near a southern, western, or eastern facing window, but not in direct sunlight. Plants that require bright light need to be as close to a direct light source as possible - preferably in a southern or western facing window where they can catch a glimpse of the sky.Ī sunny window with sheer curtains or an office desk near a window would also do the trick. If your cat is sleeping in this sunny spot, it's probably best for bright light plants. Use these as guidelines for picking a plant that will be great for your space, but you may need to tweak things based on your environment. The two biggest factors that determine your plant's needs are lighting and watering. Each home, office, or room is unique so you may need to tweak some of these suggestions to fit to your conditions. Below are some guidelines and recommendations to get you started on taking care of your plant.
