This is my main Zone for house plants and is the sunniest spot. I believe it’s full sun… this is a south facing window, bright and direct morning dawn sun for a few hours, and then bright/overcast sun the rest of the day. Is this what planta’s ‘full sun’ category means? Because I think it’s bright/indirect. I would consider other spots in the same room to be indirect/medium so I am just creating different ‘zones’ in the same room (I’m tired of planta telling me it’s too bright/not bright enough when the same room has many different locations). I’m not paying for the sun-checking software. It’s amazing, but that’s the only thing I really want from the membership and I don’t think it’s worth $30+ when I can more-or-less learn from experience. I would love feedback though, what level is this light? It’s not the absolute sunshine straight onto a fiddle leaf fig YouTube-short light, but I think it’s amazingly indirect/bright. It’s an overcast, partly-could day. But even direct sun doesn’t shine directly onto the plants. Thank you! ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OuhCs-bBwCWtf7vhMl1zdyZtr3CoDL9c7o_maLve7R4/lUAvg-pNQd2ME60ugwJ0tw.webp?size=large) ## 5 kommentarer ### Yolanda kommenterede den 2025-09-16 The biggest suggestion I would have would be is to invest in some grow lights for supplemental lighting. Give your plants at least 12 to 14 hours of extra light. I have a few plants I leave the grow light on continuously like my deacena fern in my bathroom. I only turn that light off when I can tell it’s a lot of light shining across from my kitchen window #### Pothos Palace svarede den 2025-09-17 I plan on getting grow lights around the house. Especially since I have overhead lights and feel like a few extra grow lights around the house would fit in nice. I also bought an IKEA glass cabinet for a greenhouse and am so excited!! What do you mean by 12-14 hours of extra light? Like 12-14 hours on a day? Or throughout the week? I guess I should follow up with, how long should you leave lights on for them? I do want to turn them off overnight but I figure it’d be convenient for a 10-12 hour grow period… especially to try and encourage new growth despite winter. ### Rhus kommenterede den 2025-09-16 I think your instinct that it's bright/indirect is probably right. For reference, I have a window that gets direct sunlight from about noon to sunset, and that's my only "full sun" site. If you'd like a really nerdy look at sun for free, Photone is an app that has a good free version! #### Rhus svarede den 2025-09-16 Ooh I also have a large room that has multiple windows that are somehow each completely different, so those windows are "sites" rather than the whole room being a site. ETA: your view looks incredible out there! ### Yolanda kommenterede den 2025-09-17 I set an automatic timer on my grow lights for 12 hours or I just turn them on when I go to bed, but long as it’s not in the room with me, to me they are too bright and too hot 😂..I would just supplement with the lighting you have during the day or just use them at night as a replacement for all they don’t get during the day. When it cloudy outside or raining I leave mine on my plants all day. --- _Planta-fællesskabet (https://getplanta.com). Alle kan læse med.
