I’m getting a plant stand to put all my plants on and I want to know which one would be the best. ## 14 comentarios ### MattL comentó el 2024-09-01 It’s not a great answer, but it depends on the plant. South windows get light all day, so high-light plants will do well there (particularly flowering plants). East windows will have shade in the afternoon, so lower-light plants will do better there #### Maddie respondió el 2024-09-01 OK, my south window has a house next to it so is that going to affect the amount of sunlight it gets? #### MattL respondió el 2024-09-01 Probably! What kind of plants do you have? #### Maddie respondió el 2024-09-01 3 spider plants, a bunch of succulents, a small monsteria, snake plant, ivy, pothos, crispy fern, and about 3 other plants. #### MattL respondió el 2024-09-01 My guess is those will do fine in the East window. Let’s see if others have opinions on that. #### Riley respondió el 2024-09-01 The succulents would all do best in the south window, and the others would probably do best in the east window _2 respuestas más en la app_ ### 9s comentó el 2024-09-01 South if you have double paned glass will grow basically any houseplant. East will be better for stuff that prefers less light. #### Maddie respondió el 2024-09-01 Okay, thank you #### 9s respondió el 2024-09-01 I forgot to mention south is only super strong if you’re in the southern hemisphere. It’s the opposite for people in the northern hemisphere #### Maddie respondió el 2024-09-01 Okay thank you #### Riley respondió el 2024-09-02 That’s the other way around, south is strongest in the north and weakest in the south #### 9s respondió el 2024-09-02 You’re right!
