Partial Sun Conditions
Plants that
thrive in partial sun are the plants that will do well with about
three to six hours of sunlight a day. If these plants receive too
much sun, they have a tendency to heat up and wilt.
Placing partial-sun
plants in a west-facing area will give them a bit more sunlight
in the afternoon hours, whereas plants that are in east-facing areas
receive more light in the morning.
Always check
your plants' sunlight requirements (when you buy them or through
a garden shop). Partial sun will suit a wide variety of plants,
and depending on the water requirements, you can have a garden filled
with all kinds of plants!
One way to achieve
partial sun for your plants is to plant them near larger plants
that provide shade for some of the day and sunlight for a few hours
of the day. This is especially helpful if you have a large balcony
that has the space to grow some nice shrubs or tiny trees.
