How To Determine The South-Facing Window

They always say that the best location for plants is a south-facing window, or south-facing location. 

The sun goes up on the east here in the Philippines. It is actually a bit southeast, but not very south. So, I think, the most ideal location for plants here in the Philippines is a southeast facing window where the sun isn't direct but it is toucing the plants early in the morning.

You can put the plants under a roof, so when it is noon time, the plants are not directly under the sun. But still, in the morning, the plants get touched by the cooler sun rays. 

If you don't have a southeast facing window, an east window or a south window is good. 

Even a northeast window is good. As long as the plants get touched by the morning sun, that is good. But northeast doesnt get as much morning sun as in the southeast.

I downloaded a compass app (there are many in the Google playstore) and located all my southfacing windows.

We are in a tropical country where sun is good for plants from morning to afternoon, as long as it is not the noontime sun. 

Afternoon sun is still sun, but not as intense as the morning sun. Afternoon sun is cooler than morning. But the morning sun wakes the plants up from night coolness, and the temperature change could be the most beneficial for them.
