Most indoor foliage plants require which type of lighting?

Bright direct light
Low light
Bright indirect light
Artificial light only

The correct answer is: Bright indirect light

Indoor foliage plants typically thrive in bright indirect light because this type of lighting mimics the natural light conditions found in their native environments, where they often grow under the canopy of larger plants or trees. This setting allows them to receive filtered sunlight, avoiding the harshness of direct light, which can lead to leaf scorch and other damage. Bright indirect light supports healthy growth, encouraging lush foliage and vibrant colors without overwhelming the plants. In contrast, some options do not align with the needs of most indoor foliage plants. Bright direct light may be too intense for many species, leading to potential stress and damage. Low light may not provide enough energy for proper photosynthesis and growth. While artificial light can be a viable option, many foliage plants prefer natural bright indirect light for optimal health and growth.
