# This is a very old girl and when we moved, I had to trim off all of…

_Posted by Lynda on 2024-06-25_

This is a very old girl and when we moved, I had to trim off all of her arms and let her start over, which is what she’s doing. She’s in a bedroom that has no direct sunlight. Would she do better and have more color variegation if I put a grow light on her? I ask that because they’re supposed to like part sun or shade so I’m not sure if a light would be overdoing it. Comments? TIA. 😊💚🪴

She would love a grow light! It definitely wouldn’t cause any harm — it’s not as harsh as sunlight . Where you have it now, based only on these pictures, looks pretty bright. I would bet it doesn’t NEED the grow light to thrive — but it certainly wouldn’t do any harm

The grow light will give it more variegation. It can revert back to all green with insufficient light.

Yes, that is what I’m seeing… She has become almost all one color green. So if I put a grow light on her will I definitely see more variagation? TXS for your previous comment.

My Pothos absolutely love light. The more the better. They will start to have fun new variegations as well :-)

I just took her light away to give to another plant, so you’ve helped me make a simple decision; I need another plant light!  
Regards. 😊💚🪴
