While the effects of this may tiot always he serious-the plants may simply not thrive as they, otherwise would have-some plants definitely do suffer injury. Very few plants can, accord- ing to the Ortho book "Wea- ther Wise Gardening," thrive in full, direct sunlight ail day. In winter, most plants requir- ing a sunny location need at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. In areas where there is much snow, remember that rays of sun bouncing from snow can add up to 30 per cent additional light. Southern or eastern exposures provide the required amount of light for these plants. Some sun-loving indoor plants include bulbs such as daffodil, tulip, hyacinth and the Calla lily; flowering plants such as begonia, aeranium. chrysanthemum, and poinset- tia; foliage plants such as coleus, herbs, Jerusalem cherry and pereskia. Plants that need a semi- sunny location usually require from 2 to 5 hours of sunlight in winter. In warm weather, they will do well in bright light with littie or no direct sun. Provide a warm (60 to 80 degree), slightly moist (humidity 30 per' cent or more) atmos- phere. These plants can be grown in an area that receives ful sun if they are protected hy a curtain, or if a sun-loving plant rises up to_ give some shade. In this category are African violets, Christmas cactus, gloxinia, impatiens, and orch- ids. Among the foliage plants that like their sun in small doses are bromeliads, drac- aena,, ferns, English ivy, palms, and Swedish ivy. Plants requiring a semi- saylocation thrive in rihopen light but need littie or no direct sunlight, says "Weather Wise Garden- ing". They will succeed in a warm, slightly moist atmos- phere. Most are grown prim- arily for their foliage. Flowering tohacco, anthur- ium, dieffenbachia, and pray- er plants ail faîl into tEie semi-shady, category. Philodendron, pothos, snake plant, and ficus are ail plants needing shaded locations. These will grow in any area that receives no sunlight but there should be enough light to cast a shadow when you pass your hand across the area in which the plant will be placed.
