Placement calculator
Plant Distance From Window Calculator
Pick the target light level and get a starting distance range you can test for two weeks.
Treat the result as a placement hypothesis. The plant's new growth is the validation metric.
Distance ranges to test
| Condition | First test | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| North window | 0-4 ft for most foliage plants | Stretching if placed too far back |
| East window | 1-6 ft for medium to bright-indirect plants | Morning sun on delicate leaves |
| South or west window | 3-10 ft or filtered light | Scorch near hot glass |
