Hi,  
We moved and now there is only one North facing sliding door for sunlight and it has shade most of the day, I have brought “grow” lights to give extra light but Daphne, my Thanksgiving Cactus, has begun to get a few purple color leaves, so I change light spectrum \& moved her so she get’s not so much light, I’m just at a loss w/all my plants b/c I don’t know how to get them the kind of light they need. I also re-potted her b/c her roots were coming through the root hole in first pot.

I didn’t finish sorry I know you have a grow light but I think it needs actual sun sorry☹️

She does get afternoon sun but she was used to more

### GARDEN GIRL commented on 2025-05-12

That makes sense so if she is used to more sun I would give her a little bit more

She has a few “purple” leaves so I removed grow light, let her have shade/filtered sunlight, full afternoon sunlight when sun sets, she’s in a North facing window, I think she may need a break from moving (WV back to NH), being repotted, change in light. I also put her back on her old plant stand, she can get much more natural light exposure on it, she seems alright! I only have to get her through another 7/8 months here then to a perfectly light space for her! Lol
