# Just bought this Pothos N’ Joy. I have it placed on a fire sprinkler…

_Posted by TeddysPlantHaven on 2025-01-26_

Just bought this Pothos N’ Joy. I have it placed on a fire sprinkler pipe about 3 1/2 to 4 feet away from my bedroom window. My question is whether you guys think it’s getting enough sunlight or not.

No

### Marissa commented on 2025-01-26

I would try to get it as close as possible

### Pookie commented on 2025-01-26

Honestly it depends lol my pothos thrives on my kitchen cabinets

### Pookie commented on 2025-01-26

you could monitor her for signs of lack of light or add a grow light if needed!

### Buffy commented on 2025-01-26

Maybe hang it lower so it gets more light at the top of the plant and open shade all the way.

### c.cat commented on 2025-01-26

which direction does the window face?

#### TeddysPlantHaven replied on 2025-01-26

This is an east facing window

#### c.cat replied on 2025-01-26

if you want to keep it in your room you could get a grow light, if not, a south facing window would be more ideal

#### TeddysPlantHaven replied on 2025-01-27

Does any LED light work as a grow light?

#### c.cat replied on 2025-01-27

something that is full spectrum would get the best results, but you probably could use it to supplement the natural morning light

#### TeddysPlantHaven replied on 2025-01-27

I have moved her to a new location until I can acquire a full spectrum light. This window is south facing.

I also don’t want to put her too close to the window because I live in Rhode Island and it’s very chilly right now.

No.
