For windows that point north or south, it is necessary to place the plants closer or measure the right side slope so that indoor plants can still be exposed to sunlight.

But it is necessary to consider the items around the windows and plants. Do not let the plants completely cover the sunlight that enters the house. On the other hand, don't let the sun not get enough light so that its growth slows down, withers until it turns yellow.

Natural light from the sun is very important to maintain the humidity balance of the room. According to feng shui, sunlight is the source of life so it is necessary to consider keeping it sufficient.

If your house is not exposed to the sun or the sun's exposure is blocked by a wall that is too high, then place indoor ornamental plants close to the window. You can also put it hanging to decorate the window.

If it is not possible to get enough light from the sun, you can choose plants that are more resistant to living in dark rooms. You can also dry it every morning after watering it.
