FOR SELECTED PLANT SIZES
“Direct Sun (no shelter)” refers to locations exposed to full sun and rain outdoors. When the plant is placed about 30cm away from a white canvas, the shadow formed by the leaves is very dark and the shape is very defined.
In this type of light, unfiltered sun rays touch the leaves of plants directly for at least 4-6 hours every day.
e.g. an unsheltered rooftop
e.g. neighbourhood park
e.g. parts of a building without shelter and with sun rays
e.g. garden of a landed property
Aglaonemas (if it’s morning or evening sun)
Bonsais
Cacti (if it’s morning or evening sun. If sun is too intense, it might turn yellow)
Caladiums (If it’s morning or evening sun. If not the leaves might get sunburnt)
Flowering trees
Fruit trees
Hoyas (if it’s morning or evening sun)
Stephanias (If it’s morning or evening sun)
