.East-facing windows receive cool morning sun and are good choices for most houseplants. However, in the winter, east windows receive more sunlight than the rest of the year. This would be my pick for the Christmas cactus.
.North-facing windows receive almost no direct light. North windows are great choices for houseplants that thrive on indirect light. The cyclamen that is a popular Christmas plant would love this window, as would the Peace Lily, Chinese evergreen or pothos ivy.
.South-facing windows receive a lot of sunlight in the winter, but less in the summer. Special care may be needed in using south facing windows or you may simply need to move the plant in the summer. The poinsettia would look good for a couple of more months in this location as would the parlor palm.
.West-facing windows receive the most sunlight of all. Plants on the west side of your home may need to be protected from the sun. Plants like the Norfolk Island pine and weeping fig would find this window most ideal.
