FAQ About Indoor Plant Seasonal Lighting Optimization

The correct placement of indoor plant lighting depends on the type of plant and its light needs. Generally, lights should be positioned so that they provide even coverage over the plant area without shadowing any parts. For most plants, lights should be placed 6 to 12 inches above the foliage. However, for high-light-requiring plants, such as succulents, lights may need to be placed closer, while shade-loving plants might require a greater distance. Adjust these positions as needed throughout the seasons to accommodate changes in natural light through windows.
