Plants That Start With F

Fiddle Leaf Fig needs bright indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. A PAR meter or PAR meter app can check this PPFD range.

• Place it about 5 ft / 1.5 m from a south, west, or east-facing window.
• The leaves should not have a direct view of the sky. Filter unavoidable direct sunlight with a sheer curtain.
• Too much sun can scorch the broad leaves, especially after a sudden move.
• Too little light leads to slow growth, leaf loss, and a sparse canopy. Rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth.

Fire Flash Plant prefers bright indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. A PAR meter or PAR meter app can measure this PPFD range.

• Place it about 5 ft / 1.5 m from a south, west, or east-facing window.
• Do not give the foliage a direct view of the sky. Use a sheer curtain if sunlight reaches the leaves.
• Too much direct sun may scorch the foliage or fade the orange stems.
• Too little light slows growth and weakens stem color. Rotate the container to maintain a balanced clump.

Fishbone Cactus prefers bright indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. A PAR meter or PAR meter app can measure this PPFD range.

• Set it about 5 ft / 1.5 m from a south, west, or east-facing window.
• Avoid giving the stems a direct view of the sky. Soften unavoidable sunlight with a sheer curtain.
• Too much direct sun can bleach or scorch the flattened stems.
• Too little light slows growth and may reduce flowering. Rotate hanging baskets so all stems receive balanced exposure.

Flame Violet prefers bright indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹. A PAR meter or PAR meter app can check this PPFD range.

• Position it about 5 ft / 1.5 m from a south, west, or east-facing window.
• Do not give the foliage a direct view of the sky. Filter unavoidable sunlight through a sheer curtain.
• Too much direct sun may scorch the velvety leaves or fade their markings.
• Too little light produces weak trailing growth and fewer flowers. Rotate the pot carefully for balanced exposure.

Flaming Katy grows best in bright, indirect light measuring 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

• Set it about 5 ft / 1.5m from a south, west or east-facing window.
• Choose a place where the leaves have no direct view of the sky. Filter unavoidable sun with a sheer curtain.
• Excess direct light can bleach or scorch the foliage. Weak light reduces growth and flowering.
• A PAR meter or PAR meter app can measure photosynthetically active radiation as PPFD in μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

Flamingo Flower prefers bright, indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

• Position it around 5 ft / 1.5m from a south, west or east-facing window.
• Keep the plant where it does not have an open view of the sky. Use a sheer curtain if sunlight reaches the foliage directly.
• Strong direct sun may scorch or fade the broad leaves. Low light can slow growth and reduce spathe production.
• Check photosynthetically active radiation with a PAR meter or PAR meter app, reading PPFD in μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

Flapjack Plant needs bright, indirect light in the range of 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

• Place it about 5 ft / 1.5m from a south, west or east-facing window.
• Prevent a direct view of the sky from the foliage. If sun reaches the leaves, soften it through a sheer curtain.
• Too much direct light can scorch the broad leaves. Too little light may weaken growth and reduce the red coloring.
• Use a PAR meter or PAR meter app to check photosynthetically active radiation as PPFD in μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

Foxtail Fern performs best under bright, indirect light measuring 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

• Keep it around 5 ft / 1.5m from a south, west or east-facing window.
• Select a spot without a direct view of the sky. Filter any unavoidable sunlight through a sheer curtain.
• Strong direct sun may bleach or burn the delicate foliage. Dim conditions can produce weak, sparse stems.
• A PAR meter or PAR meter app can measure photosynthetically active radiation as PPFD in μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

Frizzle Sizzle Plant favors bright, indirect light at 150 to 250 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.

• Place it near, but about 5 ft / 1.5m from, a south, west or east-facing window.
• Keep the leaves from having a direct view of the sky. A sheer curtain can soften sunlight that would otherwise strike them.
• Harsh direct sun can scorch the curls. Low light may cause weak, straighter foliage and poorer flowering.
• Measure photosynthetically active radiation with a PAR meter or PAR meter app, using PPFD in μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹.
