Some plants love full sun; others burn or wilt if they get too much. A few prefer bright indirect light or even shade. If you scatter them randomly, you’ll always be moving pots around trying to find out why one is sad while another is thriving.
Grouping plants with similar sun requirements – all the sun-lovers in one place, shade-lovers in another – makes care much easier. You know that corner gets strong afternoon sun, so everyone there is chosen to tolerate it. The shadier wall hosts plants that prefer gentler light.
You’re not fighting nature every week. Once groups are set, your watering and feeding patterns become more predictable too, because sun exposure affects how quickly soil dries.
It saves you from playing plant “musical chairs” and gives each group a fair chance to show its best.
