Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be talking about plants that grow great in high light areas. This could be a window that sees sun all day long. Sometimes it is hard to find a plant that does well in this much sun due to plants in full sun drying out faster and leaf burn. If you need a recommendation for a full sun plant, keep reading!

The first houseplant that I would like to mention is the ponytail palm. The ponytail palm resembles a small tree with soft spike like foliage on top. It is actually part of the succulent family. Place the ponytail palm in as much light as possible. Water when the soil feels dry. This plant is forgiving if you forget to water it! Its trunk stores water for drought. They are slow growing houseplants.

Next, I would like to talk about the barrel cactus. Personally, I find this to be one of the most interesting cacti to look at. It has a ball like shape with spikes that lay along it. Some people like it looks like a sewing pincushion. They like to be in full sun. You should water your barrel cactus once a week in the summer and less frequently in the other seasons. Fun fact: if the plant is happy and mature enough it will produce edible fruit.

Lastly, I would like to mention the yucca plant. Yucca plants have long straight woody bases with foliage on top. I think they resemble small pine trees. Yucca plants are happy in full sun. However, if you see white spots on the leaves it is best to move your plant to an area with less sun. Yuccas can be sensitive to watering. Make sure your plant is dry in between waterings. In the right conditions your yucca will bloom.

Do you have any good high-light plants? What direction window do they do best in?
