I have a couple of plants but not much lighting in my apartment?

I have two spider plants (long skinny leaves that grow those branch like things that have "babies"), an ivy, a cactus and two bigger plants that I know idea what they're called. They seem to be doing okay right now but I would like to put them in different areas of my house. Would they be okay if I only kept them in rooms with a window or do they have to be in direct sunlight?

Most plants do well in a bright room, or with morning sunshine directly on them. Move them around and see how they do under different conditions. Water once a week only. More plants die from being soggy than from not the right lighting conditions. If they don't seem to be growing well in the spring and summer months (when plants are in a growth cycle), they may need more light. If they look like the leaves are scorched, they may be getting too much direct sunlight.
Reply:in direct light is OK,a cactus needs sun and plant gro lights will help.
Reply:Bright, indirect light is best for these easily cared for


indoor plants....Avoid full sun midday exposure as this will


stress out your "roomies"...


Gauge your waterings so as not to over or under dose


them, as this will cause brown tips....
