Indirect means just that - no direct sunrays hit the plant. "Filtered"
light - through a sheer or something - may also be acceptable. It's heat
buildup from the light that can damage the plants, so we're trying to limit
it.

My suggestion is to ALWAYS water the pot from the top - the medium, not into
the tops of the plants themselves - and never let the plant stand in liquid.

thanks for all the help! when i said 'direct light' on my first post, i
actually mis-typed... my mjantle gets indirect sun. Or what i *think*
counts as indirect sun. Any suggestions on what indirect light entails?
Also, any opinions on watering from the bottom vs watering from the
top?

thanks
