- Plants need natural light to thrive, and understanding your window exposure is crucial for their placement. - Low light-tolerant plants like snake plants and pothos can adapt to various lighting conditions but still prefer some level of light. - For rooms with no natural light, consider alternatives like grow lights, botanical art, or dried flowers to enhance the space.
