Depending on your region, however, the current weather can affect the placement of the plant in your home.

You may also need to adjust your placement according to the season as the sunlight can change intensity over the course of the year. If you live in a region with significant temperature fluctuations, such as a desert, you may need to place the plant a bit farther away from the window to avoid extreme heat or cold. With some care and attention, your Dunbible Weed will be sure to bring you many years of beauty and enjoyment.
