I have never fully understood what "bright indirect light" means. I'm not sure I understand it now, if we're being completely honest. It's the least well-defined term in the entire plant world — a phrase that appears in approximately 100% of tropical plant care guides and explains precisely nothing about what you're actually supposed to do in your house in Northeast Georgia. So I guessed.

I did one of my "should probably be infamous by now" went to the store for birthday cards and came home with another plant. Obviously. And this one is...a little worse for wear.

You've walked the entire house looking for the PERFECT spot for your new baby. Bright, indirect lighting from an East-facing window. ✅ Not directly in a 'high-traffic' zone, shielding it from your kids/pets. ✅ Visible from your FAVORITE seat, so you can admire his/her beauty. ✅ But did you look up? If the perfect spot is directly below your heating vent, especially in and around Flowery Branch GA, then it is most definitely NOT the perfect spot.
