Bright indirect light is when light or sunlight is shining through a window or something that is shading some of the light.
Bright light doesn't mean direct sunlight or full sun.
Direct sunlight or full sun is when the sunlight is bright and in direct contact with the plant without any shade or filter.
Bright light can be direct or indirect depending on where the plant is.
Bright indirect light is when sunlight is shining through a window or something that is shading some of the light.
Direct sunlight is when the sunlight is shining on the plant without anything obstructing it such as a window or shade.
Full sun is when the sunlight shines on the plant directly for at least 6 hours a day.
Between 1 to 2 feet to 3 feet to 6 feet from a window is bright indirect light.
Placing your plant as far as at least 1 to 2 feet to 3 feet to 6 feet from a bright window will allow the plant to receive bright indirect light instead of direct sunlight.
Although the distance for bright indirect light from a window can also vary depending on the orientation of the window.
Plants should be placed near but not directly in front of windows for indirect sunlight or when outside they should be somewhat shaded.
For indirect sunlight the east facing or west facing windows are best windows for the plant or use some blinds or curtains to filter the direct sunlight.
East facing windows provide the plants with bright indirect light throughout the day and west facing windows provide the light mainly in the early morning and afternoon.
Shade does count as indirect sunlight as the shade is filtering out the sunlight.
Shade is when direct sunlight is blocked or diffused, which results in the sunlight being less intense and spread out.
Shade from sunlight can occur from trees, buildings or even curtains which leads to the sunlight not hitting the plant directly.
Light through a window is considered indirect sunlight as the glass filters the light and reduces the lights intensity and alters the lights spectrum when compared to direct sunlight.
Unlike direct sunlight, that comes straight from the sun without obstruction, the light through a window has been modified by the glass as the glass of the window acts as a filter and reduces the intensity of the sunlight and scatters it.
Direct sunlight is generally defined as sunlight which is not filtered or obstructed, while indirect sunlight is light that has been filtered or reflected.
A north facing window is indirect light but not bright indirect light.
North facing windows provide indirect light but not bright indirect light as north facing windows get the least amount of direct sunlight and also offer a consistent, diffused light source.
North facing windows are good for providing a good light source for plants that prefer low to medium light.
However north facing windows are good light sources for plants which prefer low to medium light, but they are not suitable for plants that require bright, indirect light.
Near east or west facing windows or even south facing windows provide bright indirect light.
Bright indirect light is characterized by the lights intensity and lack of direct sun.
Plants that require bright indirect light, like many common houseplants, need a certain level of intensity for optimal growth.
North-facing windows do not get enough light for plants that need bright indirect light.
If you want to have your plants in a room that only has a north-facing window, you'll have to bring in some backup (artificial light) to make your plant happy.
