Foliage baskets grow well in full shade but will also grow well in dappled sun locations and locations with a few hours of morning sun. Color contrasts and how vibrant the colors are will depend on the amount of sunlight they receive. Typically, the more sun they get the more vibrant the colors are. While they will grow in full shade, you can hang them in full sun as well provided they have ample water. Avoid full sun in the hottest parts of the summer.
Remember that they will need more water if they get more sun. Allow them to dry out partially but not completely between watering. Overwatering can be a issue with foliage baskets especially if hung in full shade.
