Indoor Plant Light Requirement Information
Homes have a remarkably lower level of light than you would
expect. Offices tend to have more light as the work requirements  entail higher levels of light for
reading, writing, and other work functions. Indoor events can have a good amount of light also, but watch for pockets of lower light.
Light Definitions
High light: light in a window. The strongest light is
from the south window, next strongest is light from a west window. Has direct light into the window with no tree or other blockage in front of
the window, no heavy drapes. High light is 250 candles and up.
Medium light: light that is slightly away from a window, usually 2-6'away
from a bright sunny window on the south side, has direct light into the window with no tree or other blockage in f ront of the window, no heavy drapes. Medium light is 100 candles - 250
Low light: from 50-100 foot candles on a light
meter, artificial light source, or from 6-8 ft away from a natural light source. Often will be on the other side of a sunny room's window or under strictly artificial light.
