What are the effects of directional sun exposures on interior plants? Explain the problems and benefits
associated with different exposures.
What will be an ideal response?
In general, interior plants will do well when placed near an unobstructed window with an eastern
exposure. This bright, indirect light is a close simulation of the dappled light plants would enjoy in
tropical regions. Eastern exposures gain light from the morning sun when temperatures are generally
cool. A western exposure would potentially have many days of bright light over time. Southern
exposures provided bright light, but the sun’s intensity could burn leaves. Northern exposures have, in
general, the lowest light intensities of the four exposures. This does not mean that plants cannot be
maintained in these spaces, however. Interiorscapers can select plants that do better in lower light as
well as take advantage of plant placement closer to the light source, simply place plants closer to a
window than further away to keep it healthy.
