# So I have two pothos, one marble queen, and a small neon that I…

_Posted by Celeste on 2023-08-22_

So I have two pothos, one marble queen, and a small neon that I propagated from a cutting. They are about two feet from a south facing window, so understandably planta says they are placed too sunny. BUT the roof of my house blocks a decent amount of the light coming in. Should I move them? I have spider plants that have been happy in that light for a long time. Also, my marble queen has a new leaf that is brown and crispy at the end. Is that because it is sunburned? Thanks for any help!

If any of the other new growth does that then maybe check the roots and/or move it. But it’s okay if only one leaf crisps.

And you could always add a sheer curtain or partially block with a regular curtain

Okay thank you!

I’m a new pothos plant owner… do they do better in dimmer light?  
🫣😬

Yeah me too, and from what I’ve heard yes they do better in partial sun
