=== Light Preference ===
=== Light Preference ===
Different types of houseplants need different levels of light, and it is important to know how much each plant requires. If a plant doesn't require much light, you may be able to keep it several feet away from a window, but some plants marked as "low light tolerant" may grow better with more light than advertised, so always check each individual plant. Some plants can have different colored leaves, or parts of them that are not green. This is known as "variegation", and it's a general rule of thumb that the less green a plant is, the more light it will need, as the green parts of a plant are the only parts that can perform photosynthesis.
