Depends…where are you and which direction does the window face?

#### Kilee ha respondido el 2026-02-17

its a south facing window, and i live in colorado. my room gets about 2 hours of direct sunlight in the middle of the day, and decently bright light until like 4 or so (right now at least)

#### Tee Jay ha respondido el 2026-02-17

They will definitely survive with that type of light!
