Keeping Your Plants Healthy: Understanding Light Requirements

Welcome to our guide on keeping your plants healthy by understanding their light requirements. Proper light exposure is crucial for the growth and well-being of your plants. Different plants have varying needs when it comes to light, so it's essential to know how to provide the right conditions for them to thrive.

Types of Light

There are three main types of light that plants need:

1. Full Sunlight: Plants that require full sunlight need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
2. Partial Sunlight: Plants that need partial sunlight thrive with 3-6 hours of sunlight daily.
