This leads to crowded windows and sometimes means we can’t grow our collection because we have nowhere to put any more plants. Unfortunately, not all homes offer ample lighting throughout the house. Have you ever driven past a house and seen all the plants huddled around the base of the window? Those of us who are obsessed with house plants know that the real estate around a window is in high demand for our leafy friends, especially for those of us who adore succulents and cacti and other plant friends who need extra sunlight.
