We have designed live paintings to look perfect on your wall with as little maintenance as possible. However, after years of experience, we know that light is everything. And different plants have different needs. When choosing plants, be guided by the level of illumination: weak, medium, strong.

A bright place, preferably near a south window. or places with enough scattered light, where the plant can be exposed to direct sunlight for 3 to 4 hours a day. These are all places near windows facing east and west, ideally south-west.
Diffused light, i.e. places within 3 meters of a north-facing window and 2 to 5 meters away from a south-facing window.

How do I find the light level?
strong, medium or weak light? Here are three simple ways to determine the level of lighting to help you choose plants.
1. Use a professional luxmeter.
2. Download a light measuring app (for example Lux Meter by waldau-webdesign is quite good).
3. Shadow test. choose a place on the wall where the picture will be. When the sun is at its strongest (from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), raise your hand 15 cm from the wall and analyze the shadow to determine the strength of the light:
-
Strong lighting: If your wall is illuminated with bright light for at least 6 hours a day.A shadow cast on this wall would show clean, sharp outlines and strong contrast. The luxmeter would show above 2000-lx.
-
Good lighting: If your wall receives mostly filtered sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.The shadow cast on this wall may look a bit blurry, but it still shows a defined silhouette. Luxmeter would show between 1000-2000 lx.
-
Low light: If your wall doesn't get any direct sun. Finding shade is difficult. A luxmeter would measure between 500-1000 lx.
NOTE: a vivid image needs at least 200 lx to survive. If your wall is too dark, use supplemental lighting. Also, use a grow light if you desire plants that require better lighting.
