| I have a north west window, so only get late afternoon light, and use a filmy curtain from Walmart. The important thing to note is that it is the temperature that the leaf gets to that does the damage, not some character of the sunlight. When the light is hitting the leaves, you can feel them to judge if you have a problem. If the leaves are luke warm, or a little more, to the touch, they are OK. If the leaves are hot to the touch, they are getting too much light and you probably should take the plant to the sink and run water over the leaves to cool them off. Higher light levels can be tolerated during cool weather, and lower light levels will be needed if your room temp goes very high during warm weather. A fan can make a difference too. I have a fan in the above memtioned window that is pluged into a thermostat, as we have no cooling in the house as yet. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ |
