Tips for caring for sun-loving houseplants

Watering: Water moderately and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Many sun-loving plants do not like wet roots.

Rotate: Rotate your plants regularly so that they grow evenly and do not pull to one side.

Protect from extreme heat: Although these plants are sun-tolerant, extremely hot midday sun can cause damage. In extreme heat, move them a short distance from the window.

Use pots with drainage: This prevents plants from remaining too wet.

Fertilizing in spring and summer: Give your plants extra nutrition during their growing season.
