My lemon lime baby wasn't doing to well, but after a few days of not putting him outside for some sun time in the mornings, he's doing a lot better! Becoming more green as he grows!

Its true they like indirect light. If you were watering it while the sun was out, you could have been hurting it then, too.

I know this because watering flowers in the sun will FRY fry them lol. brown and crispy like a french fry

I think poor fella was just shocked from the sun! Him and my other Philodendron switch back and forth from 2 hooks, allowing them both to get some indirect sunlight 😁 They're both a lot more happy now!

Absolutely gorgeous though!

Thank you!

It’s better to add single plant grow lights running 12 hours a day to supplement both of them than to move them around everyday.

It might just be the angle, but I think it already looks a lot happier! I also struggle with knowing if my plants are getting enough sun, but sometimes they’re good at adjusting to their environment.
