How much light is that spot?
"Bright indirect" is the most confusing phrase in plant care. Tell us about the window and we'll translate it into a real light level - plus the plants that actually thrive there. Figures assume the northern hemisphere; if you're south of the equator, swap north and south.
Great for most popular houseplants.
Shadow test: at midday, hold your hand a foot above the spot. A sharp, crisp shadow = direct/bright; a soft, fuzzy shadow = medium; barely any shadow = low light. It beats guessing every time.
⚠️ Light drops off fast as you move from the window - a spot 2 m back can get a quarter of the light of the sill, even if it looks bright to your eyes. Your eyes adjust; plants don't. When in doubt, move a plant closer to the glass and watch how it responds.
