Does she look like she’s doing okay? I’m worried about the browning. I just started using a grow light yesterday, and watered a few days ago.

Was the browning before the grow light?

#### Lilli 🦖 replied on 2025-02-09

Yes there was a bit, but not this much

How close is it to the light? Also check if the soil mix isn’t too wet or that it’s been over fertilised or even the humidity is too low

it’s about 6in away from the light, I have a small portable humidifier off Amazon, but I rotate it between my two plant sites so the humidifier is there mainly overnight.

How often do you fertilise?
