Hey everyone! I was wondering....is this too little or too much sunlight for a Thanksgiving cactus. I hear indirect is best but I don't want to hurt it by using too much sunlight. TIA

What direction is that window facing?

Here is my measurement: Find a window where the sun is shining in. Step just outside the lit square on the floor. That's bright, indirect light.

Better? It's alleys than a foot away from the window

That's a better choice. I see lots of places for bright, indirect light here.
