Determining if your urban planter boxes receive adequate sunlight is crucial for plant health. Start by observing your planter's location throughout the day. Most vegetables and flowering plants need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight, while some foliage plants thrive in partial shade. Track sunlight patterns by checking your planter every hour from morning to evening, noting when direct sun hits the boxes. Consider using a sunlight calculator app or simple tools like a sun compass to measure exposure accurately. Watch for signs of insufficient sun like leggy growth, small leaves, or poor flowering. If your plants aren't getting enough light, consider relocating planters to sunnier spots, using reflective surfaces to maximize available light, or switching to shade-tolerant plants like lettuce or herbs. Remember that sunlight changes with seasons, so reassess your planter's exposure every few months. Proper sun exposure ensures your urban garden thrives despite space limitations.
