What Are the Sunlight Requirements for Mistletoe?
Mistletoe thrives in indirect, natural light, mimicking the dappled sunlight of its native wooded habitats. Strong direct sunlight can harm the plant, leading to leaf burn. For optimal growth, provide bright filtered light for several hours daily, especially in the morning. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sunlight. If grown indoors, placing mistletoe near a window with a sheer curtain can provide the ideal light quality. No specific light nuances for mistletoe have been documented, but as with many plants, consistent lighting conditions help maintain health and vitality.
