Is this too much sunlight?


This is my first time propagating!

My apartment gets about 3-4 hours of direct sunlight everyday. Is it too much for these cuttings? I cut and put these here about 5 days ago.

What else plants could I put here instead?

    Speaking out of personal experience with my own golden pothos, I think this should be fine. I was not propagating though, so I dont know if that makes a difference or not. My golden pothos likes to be in the sun for a short amount of time, with the rest of the time being filtered/shaded light. I have mine on a covered porch that faces east so it gets a good amount of morning light. Just keep your eye on the leaves. They should have streaks of yellow, but if theyre starting to turn fully yellow or wilt/turn brown and crispy then you may want to move them.

    The only direct light is outdoors. If it’s filtered through your window, it’s indirect. Generally speaking it’s pretty hard to give houseplants “too much” light. Pothos don’t like being cooked all day but 3-4 hours of sunbeams is totally fine.

    If the plants are indoors, with windows, it’s okay for them to have “direct sun” through the window. Most of my plants are hanging on windows that get sun for half the day and they’re thriving. Direct sun is only harmful if they are brought outside.

    In addition to what other people are saying about direct vs indirect, the further a plant is away from the window the less intense the light is. This doesn’t look like these plants are super close to a window. I think they’re fine there but just to reframe the perspective, I’d be more worried about them not getting *enough* light there. Again, I think they’re probably fine but I’m just trying to emphasise that they are nottttttt getting *too much* light there.
