In most Italian homes there are plants and flowers that beautify the interiors. We tend to prefer certain varieties with beautiful, colorful flowers, which can last all year round and ensure a perfect look. However, it is always better to follow the advice of nurserymen because certain plants like certain places in the house. These, for example, should never be placed on the windowsill of the house so as not to cause them to die immediately.
Plants should never be placed on the windowsill
Having plants at home is certainly an excellent way to beautify spaces, give a harmonious touch given by nature and bring serenity. The windowsill seems to be placed in front of the window specifically for placing plants.

Some varieties absolutely cannot be placed in this space , as direct light could burn their leaves and make growth difficult. In addition, some of them prefer little light and constant humidity: putting them on the windowsill will only make them die immediately. What are these plants that should never be placed on the windowsill ?
- Orchid
It is a plant with beautiful flowers that should never be placed on the windowsill, as it needs constant humidity. Additionally, direct light from the window could burn it and cause it to die within a few hours. If the window also faces south , you will need to attach a curtain so that the sun’s rays do not hit it directly.
