# Hey all! How far is too far from a window for a plant? I’m just…

_Posted by Cai.parkerp on 2024-06-13_

Hey all! How far is too far from a window for a plant? I’m just starting growing plants myself but my Hoya is producing flowers but not blooming. It’s about 5 meters away from our biggest window. Is that too far? For reference the Hoya is bottom right of the photo and there is our window.

Thanks

Howdy! What direction does the window face? My Hoyas are right next to west \& east facing windows. They like a lot of light.

Our windows east facing!

I would put it as close as possible. Hoyas thrive in my east facing windows but they are hanging in the window. Good luck!

All my indoor plants are within 2 ft of a window. I have over 140 plants. Everything further away have several grow lights.
