You can tell whether the flowers you grow are shade-tolerant by looking at their leaves!

Distinguish by leaf shape

1. Most of the trees with pine-like leaves like sunshine, such as cedar, larch, and five-needle pine;

2. Most of the plants with flat or scaly leaves are slightly shade-tolerant, such as Platycladus orientalis, Bamboo cypress, Podocarpus, etc.

3. Most deciduous plants like sunshine, such as chrysanthemum, rose, plum blossom, etc.

4. Most evergreen plants prefer semi-shade, such as Monstera, Pachira aquatica, and Dieffenbachia.

Distinguish according to the density of leaves

1. Generally speaking, flowers with small and dense leaves mostly like shade, such as asparagus fern, asparagus, maidenhair fern, etc.

2. Flowers with sparse leaves and spreading leaves mostly like the sun, such as morning glory, impatiens, oleander, etc.

Judging by the color of the leaves

Generally speaking, plants with colorful or variegated leaves require more light. When the light is too weak, the leaves are prone to fade and lose color, such as variegated wood, tricolor iron, coleus, etc.

Judging by the thickness of the leaves

1. Most flowers and plants with thicker leaves are shade-tolerant, such as rubber trees, Clivia, and golden holly. These flowers and plants do not require much light and can grow normally with scattered light;

2. Flowers with thinner leaves, such as the weeping angel and monstera, can only grow normally in a bright environment.

Judging by whether the plant is flowering

Generally speaking, flowering plants require more light, such as roses, osmanthus, morning glory, dahlia, etc., while foliage plants require less light, such as green ivy, spider plants, asparagus ferns, etc.

Flower lovers, now you know whether the flowers you grow are light-loving.
