Beside this, is sunlight through a window direct sunlight?
Light through a window is not direct sunlight as some of the light is diffused and reflected as it passes through the window, reducing its intensity. Light through a window is the most direct form of light available indoors, but is usually at least 50% less intense than direct sunlight outdoors.
Secondly, where do I put my plants for indirect sunlight? However, indirect light is provided by placing the plant at least 2 feet from the south-facing window or by covering the window with a sheer curtain to filter the light.
Similarly, you may ask, is sunlight through a window good for plants?
When it comes to growing plants indoors, gardeners are typically fighting for enough light or more consistent light. It’s important to know that natural sunlight coming through a window is not as strong as sunlight outside, and the intensity of the light drops rapidly the further the plant is moved from the window.
Do plants need direct sunlight or just light?
Light. As with watering, every plant has different light requirements. Many plants prefer direct sunlight, but this may be hard to get inside a house. Placing a plant in a window might offer enough light, but some houseplants will need supplementing from a grow light (see Lighting Indoor Houseplants).
