Have an unobstructed
east- or west-facing
window? You can enjoy

the best of both worlds
with flashy foliage plants
plus some truly impres-
sive bloomers. Rotating
the plants will distribute

the light evenly from
all angles. Watch out when
low light suddenly
streams in during spring

and autumn—it might
be necessary to pull the
plants away from the
light source until they ac-

climate. Water regularly—
with good light, these
plants get thirsty. (To test
whether your plant

needs watering, stick
your finger about an
inch into the soil. If it’s

dry, water.)
