Hi Mr Plant Guy! Which way does your window face, and are there any other windows in the room?

#### Mr Plant Guy replied on 2025-01-27

Asparagus fern string of hearts and ivy

Also just since the pictures are kinda small, do you know what kinds of plants they are?

There's no way to tell from a picture. Go into the app, on the magnifying glass at the bottom. And pick light meter, top right

Then you can point your front facing camera at the window/ where you want to place a plant. And you will know what the light is. I check this usually in the morning, noon, and evening. Depending on the window. This was a grow light to give you an idea

Funny. I have that same gray pot. Tbh, I worry about the top of the SOH getting sufficient light. I've noticed as long as the top of the plant gets enough light, the rest will be okay so depending on if this window doesn't get too much light where it will burn, I'd put it in the window because the top of mine got bare for the same reason. Tons of flowers on the bottom, yet so bare on top. Idk much abt the fern or the other one unfortunately. If it is too bright there for extended periods of time, maybe a different window or a supplemental mini grow light to help out the top.

Check your plants to see if they are sprouting new leaves, and growing in height or length. It is good to know about your lighting situation, but if your plants are growing, then they’re getting at least some of the light they need. That’s called, “the proof is in the pudding”! Good luck, and maybe get yourself some plant lights!
