My pink polkadot plant is getting a little crazy lol. Ive had her in front of a grow light for a while and she's so long! But thriving! I think it's time for a snip and put the stem back in the dirt....

It looks like it needs more light to make it fuller with bigger leaves. Try putting the grow light closer to the plant and running it at least 12 hours a day. It may need more fertilizer too.

It's right under the light! Maybe I need to lower it a little more from the ceiling, or add one on the side

The grow light should be about 1 ft from the plant. Check the light intensity at the plant with a light meter app or an actual light meter. You can also get more lights, if needed.
