Areas in the home that receive the brightest, most intense light are south-facing windows, where, in the height of summer, the sun streams through the glass for most of the day. Plants that have adapted to arid environments, such as desert cacti and certain hardy succulents, have the best chance of success on a south-facing windowsill, but this isn’t necessarily the most suitable place for tropical foliage plants, which can quickly burn or wilt if the light is too harsh.
