# Wondering if this is a good place for my indirect sunlight tropicals…

_Posted by Starr on 2023-03-27_

Wondering if this is a good place for my indirect sunlight tropicals or if I should move them? They’re pretty close to the window but I only have the blinds opened a tiny bit.

~don’t mind the potting situation, will be repotting soon.

What direction is the window facing? (South west east north)

#### Starr replied on 2023-03-27

Southwest facing!

Yeah so you should definitely get a lot of bright light but you may get a lot of direct sunlight too so just make sure over the next couple days your indirect sunlight plants don’t get leaf burn! It also depends if you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere

Those are some of the easiest and prettiest plants I’ve ever owned! Good picks ;) I have mine in an east facing window where they get maybe 2-3 hours of direct sunlight in the mornings and they are thriving. So I think that’s a fine spot as long as you keep an eye on them; like Aaron said, southwest can still give pretty bright light, especially in the evening, so check them for leaf burn every time you water them or more and IF they do get too much light and you don’t have another window to put them in, I recommend getting a thin sheer curtain or a roll of sun catching film to put over the glass to break up the light. The sun catching film will also throw rainbows all over your room when the light hits it! I can’t recommend it enough

direct sunlight shouldnt really  
matter all too much its asthetically cute the way you have it so id say its fine

If I were you, I’d move them away from the window and open the blinds all the way.
