Plant placement help!

9 years ago

Hi,

We just moved into our new home so my lighting is much different. I am still figuring out the placement of my plants and was hoping for some help.

Roll call:

4 jades

2 small leaf jades

1 aloe

1 rubber tree

1 Peperomia

1 small nerve plant

1 pothos

1 orchid

1 spider plant

Various hens and chicks and other succulents that will stay outside for now...

So the majority of light is from east and west facing windows. None facing south but a few facing north. Most of the windows are facing east with a ton of morning light: bay windows and a very large bathroom window. Two lower light east facing windows in a bedroom, shaded by trees outside. The afternoon/evening light is intense, with three great windows: kitchen above the sink, a bedroom window, and a dining room window.

One spot I like for my aloe is in the window in the less used bathroom. It is a west facing window with frosted glass. Lots of light during sunset but definitely diffused. Is this going to be too little light for my aloe? Should I move it to my other bathroom in front of a large, clear east facing widow full of morning light? Or maybe another east facing but not a diffused one?

Since I recently transplanted nearly all plants in a gritty mix, they have been kept from direct light until they have showed a bit of new growth. It looks like they are ready.

Any input or suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks in advance!
