🪟 Window Direction and Sunlight Exposure
Understanding window direction is crucial for optimal plant health.
🌄 North-Facing Windows
These windows provide the least direct sunlight, making them ideal for Treubii Moonlight.
🌞 South-Facing Windows
While they offer the most direct sunlight, you may need to filter this light to protect your plant.
