# I’ve had this Manjula Pothos for about a month now and have seen…

_Posted by Mack on 2024-04-07_

I’ve had this Manjula Pothos for about a month now and have seen nearly no growth, but luckily I haven’t seen any decline in health either. I’m wanting her to flourish though, any advice on how to get more growth?  
Current set up: 4 inch hanging pot roughly 1ft away from a grow light on a 12hr cycle. I use a basic liquid plant food for indoor plants by miracle grow.

I’m guessing the light isn’t strong enough. I have mine placed a few inches away from the light. Manjulas can handle a decent amount of light. I’d recommend shorting the distance by half and see how the plant responds.

Also your maranta is a beast! How long have you had it? Has it been in the same place under that light?

I’ve had it about a year now!! And it’s grown so fast, it started out with probably less than 10 leaves! I’m guilty of moving this maranta around a lot, but it never seems to mind. Generally it’s in a similar light situation as shown in the picture though, but previously it was a little closer to a window along with the use of the grow light.

The brand Arber has a soil and root food as well. I used it for my neon and marble queen pothos. Really noticing the difference personally

I had my manjula under a grow bulb and it was very slow growing so I moved it to a south facing window and it’s been taking off now!

Be patient! This will grow in time. I recommend a better growth light - Soltech is having a sale!

I love a good sale, thank you!!
