What Are the Sunlight Requirements for Laceleaf?
Ideal Lighting: Partial sun
Laceleaf originates from tropical rainforests where it thrives under the canopy of larger trees. The optimal lighting for laceleaf is bright, indirect light; exposure to direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, while too little light can lead to poor growth and reduced flowering. Ideally, laceleaf should receive light that is diffused, mimicking the dappled sunlight of its natural habitat, for about 12-14 hours daily. Adequate light is crucial for photosynthesis, promoting strong, healthy foliage and vibrant blooms. To achieve this indoors, place laceleaf near a window with sheer curtains or use a light diffusing shade. Outdoors, laceleaf should be in partial shade, avoiding midday sun. Greenhouses should utilize shade cloths that allow light penetration without excess direct exposure.
