SITE ANALYSIS : SUN LIGHT The primary aspect for growing plants in any space is the quality and quantity of natural light . If you live in a city, the light entering your space may be controlled due to various factors like an adjacent construction, tall trees, limited spaces like balconies, not facing the right direction etc. We are also fascinated by Indoor gardens lit by diffused/ dappled light passing through our skylight or windows. Now, how to determine the natural light conditions and to select right kind of plants? a. Find out the direction your space (balcony, terrace or windows face). b. If your space is towards south or west or Southwest, then you receive the maximum sunlight everyday except on cloudy days. c. After a cold damp night, the east facing space only enjoys the warmth of the sun for a short period. d. North and North east facing spaces receive dappled sunlight as much as Indoors. e. If it's an open area like terrace then, these spaces receive sunlight all day long. f. If you've a space like backyard or front yard with only midday sun touching the ground, calculate (Observe) the number of hours the maximum light available. We also need to observe any obstruction for the flow of natural light which cuts down the amount of light for the plants. So make a note of your observations as we shall suggest, the importance of light conditions, how to determine the plants suitable for each light conditions and more in our upcoming posts. #gardenspaces #lightconditions #togrowagarden #growingconditions #quarantine #lessons #gardenersofbangalore #howto #observe #plants #homegardens #learnwithcherry #cherrygardens #gardening #gardentips #housegarden #covid #believeintomorrow #diygardening (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_APUHigOKn/?igshid=olvlj2kgcckg
