Houseplants That Love Late Summer Sun

Late summer sunlight can feel intense—but some houseplants absolutely thrive in those golden rays. Whether you're refreshing your indoor jungle or looking to bring a few plants inside before fall, these sun-loving houseplants are perfect picks.

Here are three easy-care houseplants that adore bright light—and how to keep them happy:

---

Succulents (Echeveria, Haworthia, and Friends)

Succulents are desert natives, which means they’re built to soak up the sun! Their thick, fleshy leaves store water, making them low-maintenance and perfect for sunny windowsills.

Light: Bright, direct sunlight for 4–6 hours a day
Water: Let soil dry out completely between waterings
Pro Tip: Rotate regularly so they grow evenly and don’t lean toward the light

Snake Plant (Sansevieria / Dracaena trifasciata)

Tough, sculptural, and almost impossible to kill, snake plants are a great choice for bright rooms. They tolerate everything from full sun to partial shade but love a sunbeam or two in late summer.

Light: Bright, indirect to direct light
Water: Allow the top few inches of soil to dry before watering
Pro Tip: Great air-purifier and super low-maintenance—perfect for beginners

Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)

With glossy, dramatic leaves and a love for warm, bright light, rubber plants make a bold indoor statement. They grow fastest with plenty of light and can even be moved outside (in shade) for a seasonal boost.

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy—water when the top inch is dry
Pro Tip: Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and help with photosynthesis
