Counts as no light
Pitch black
Yep, full shade, as indicated by the absence of light.
“Lighting is determined by how much of the sky your plant can see” ~Tanner the Planter. I live by this. Most plants need full light but don’t actually like direct sunlight. So crouch down to your plant’s POV and see how much of the sky it sees. The more sky it can see the more light it has, so further away from the window it is the less view of the sky it has therefore the lower the lighting it has. Reflections of light bouncing off of buildings and trees, even the few seconds of sunlight from the sun setting or rising isn’t good enough to determine the lighting for your plant. The plant needs to see the sky for the light source to be consistent.
Anything but right up to a south facing window is medium or less.
The rest of the light is shady, do you see how it’s not creating a definitive outline of the plants leaves on the wall? That’s not direct light.
If sun shines directly through a window on your plants, it’s *STILL* 10% of outside light. That’s bright light, for indoors.
Often, I have plants indoors that want even more than that, which is when you get grow lights/ lamps. Which might not be a bad idea for someone living in the cloudy UK.
Download a app called “Photone” and calculate how much light there is in that spot by putting your phone there, then lookup online the number you get and you’ll have some good info to work with. But from what I see, it’s basically almost no light like everyone else is saying.
That’s certainly a VERY-low to no-light area. If you were closer to the equator, it could maybe be a regular ol “low-light” area, but anything living there will be pretttyyyy sad, if it will even live for a period of time. You can supplement this area with a growlight/growlamp!
It might sound silly, but, sit yourself down in that corner and take a look at how much of the sky you can see as if you were a plant placed there. You’ll probably notice you don’t see *nearly* as much as you would closer to the window. You would be surprised how the strength of light decreases, almost exponentially, for every foot away from the window a plant is seated.
**And to those down-voting OPs post– Stop being miserable.**
We all started somewhere, and upvotes/downvotes shouldn’t be an indication of someone’s knowledge, but whether or not it’s a relevant and good topic for the sub. These are good questions for newbies to be asking and for others to see to get a better understanding of lighting in a home.
OP circled the only place in the room that literally gets no sunbeams then asked of it’s sunny
Uk=all shade
Darkness
Yeah I would move the plants closer to the window
Even Beavis says it’s shade or no light at all!
Just to point out folks it does get sun in the corner. It’s directly opposite the double glass door.
It’s just overcast on the photo and the door next to it is open.
It is not the abyss.
It however does not get as much as close to the door itself where the umbrella is.
Lmao
That is almost too shady.
No light.
I think everything in the UK automatically qualifies as shady lol.
Just kidding, just kidding.
That would be considered partial, to almost no sun, my friend.
UK that’s bright?
Why is this a question? There’s literal shade cast upon the area. Are sunny spots shady? 😑
