Sunny windowsills (hot/cool variation)
Sunny south facing windowsills provide desert-like conditions - hot in the summer daytime and cooler at night, bright and cool in the winter. A great place for a collection of cactii and succulents. Top tip: check plants on windowsills frequently in summer to water and make sure they aren't getting scorched.
