I’m curious how closely others follow the light intensity advisory from Planta. I’ve personally found that my indoor sites are never too bright for any of my plants, regardless of proximity to the window or what direction the window faces. I’ve definitely accidentally sunburned plants by putting them outdoors, but I’ve never sunburned a plant indoors. So then, since even the brightest location is more like low light, that leads me to jockeying around my plant for prime window spots. My favorites get priority, but I have too many favorites 😂 Since I’m in the northern hemisphere, West facing windows are king. South facing are the next best, East is last choice, and North is don’t even bother lol So I’ve been thinking about hemispheres and light intensity. I’ve come to the conclusion that living in New England means I just don’t have the sun angle intensity that would burn an indoor plant. Not that I want to burn my plants lol, but it leave me with lots of warnings from Planta that my plants are in too bright of a location. Not the end of the world, but mildly annoying. It also leads me to wonder how many people are lead astray by that factor. Or how many people I may have given poor advice to regarding plant placement if they live much closer to the equator than I do Just my “expert level” musings lately 😂

    That little icon is annoying indeed! I take Planta’s advice as a guide, and I generally do read other articles online and watch other YouTubers who’ve had luck with that particular plant and try to mimic the conditions in my home. Unfortunately for me all I have are north facing or northwest facing windows and one window that’s slightly more east than north but still NE. So in my case, I need to supplement most of my plants with grow lights. 😂

    I hate that icon!! I wish you could dismiss it. It is NOT too bright, or as I have found out in my north window, too dark. I also have never burned a plant inside, but plenty outside. 😬 This “expert level” agrees with everything you said. 🤣
