Keep plants away from direct sunlight Here’s why and what you should do

Keep them out of direct sunlight during the first sunny days of spring, but don’t worry, that doesn’t mean they have to be in the shade all the time.
When sunny weather suddenly appears after a dark winter, both people and indoor plants can get sunburned, writes dpa.
Indoor plants will have a hard time tolerating sunlight shining through a window after a long winter without intense sunlight, as they have become more sensitive to strong UV radiation.

You can try moving sensitive plants indoors to a darker place for a while or draw curtains to protect them from all the light coming in from the window, recommends the German Agricultural Industry Association (IVA).
Houseplants that like natural light but not direct sunlight are especially susceptible to sunburn, including plants that have large soft leaves.

Keep them out of direct sunlight during the first sunny days of spring, but don’t worry, that doesn’t mean they have to be in the shade all the time.

Gradually expose them to the sun longer and longer to gradually get used to it.

In a few weeks, they will get used to the new season so much that you can return them to their original place, IVA points out.
And you don’t need to worry if orchids or dieffenbachias lose a few leaves in the spring.

These plants will also be more sensitive to light after winter, but should have less trouble adjusting to the increased sunlight. Feel free to leave them in their original place, even if they are missing a few leaves, the IVA points out.
