What Are the Sunlight Requirements for zonal geranium?

Horseshoe geranium thrives best in full sun, where it receives an abundance of direct light to fuel its robust growth and vibrant flowering. While it can tolerate partial sun, prolonged periods without ample light may impede its development, leading to leggy stems and reduced blooming. Adaptive traits such as thickened leaves can help horseshoe geranium manage lighter conditions by conserving moisture. When outdoors, horseshoe geranium should be positioned to bask in generous sunlight; if indoors, a south-facing window is ideal to mimic its natural preferences for a flourishing disposition.
