If you windows are high, move plants up so they can catch more light, using hangers or high shelves. That said, sometimes plants that prefer brighter light will adapt to lower light and become settled in a spot - they may not grow a lot, but won’t deteriorate. Try buying two identical plants and keeping them in different light conditions and see which one thrives - you can always swap them around every so often!
Other signs that plants aren’t happy in the shade include leaning towards the light and growing spindly, and sometimes yellowing leaves also show up. Remember plants will slow down growth rates in lower light, so drop your watering accordingly. Plants that are suffering from too little light will often rot because they are given the same water as plants in brighter light. Then take a look at what’s blocking your light from coming in - that may mean removing awnings, cutting back trees and shrubs, and maybe even persuading your neighbours to paint their house white!Īlthough dark walls are popular right now, pale (ideally white) walls are best to bounce around whatever light you do have.
First, figure out what light you do have - finding out which way your windows face is a great starting point.
