How to recognize each light band
Low light (under ~500 lux)
A north-facing window, or a few metres back from a bright one. Fine for low-light survivors; too dim for most flowering or variegated plants.
Medium light (~500–1,000 lux)
A bright room without direct sun on the plant. Comfortable for a wide range of easygoing houseplants.
Bright, indirect (~1,000–2,500 lux)
Close to a bright window but out of the sun's direct path. The sweet spot for most tropical houseplants.
Direct sun (over ~2,500 lux)
Direct sunlight hits this spot for part of the day. Great for cacti, succulents, and sun-lovers; will scorch shade plants.
Give your plant a care plan
Save its light and get care dates that adjust to its species, season and conditions.
