What Are the Sunlight Requirements for Sesamum?
Sesamum thrives under full sun, benefitting from at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid low light conditions, which can lead to weak growth and fewer blooms. Provide bright, unfiltered light except in hot climates, where light afternoon shade is beneficial. Overexposure to intense midday sun in peak summer can stress sesamum, so in such environments, use shading techniques. Ensure even light distribution for balanced growth.
