# Would you consider this overcrowded? I’m seeing no negative signs…

Would you consider this overcrowded? I’m seeing no negative signs from them being placed so close together at the moment, but I am in the process of getting more shelving/hanging equipment in the near future.

I have a lot of plants clustered together. It’s only a problem really, if they don’t get enough air flow or light. If you get pests or bacterial problems it makes it easier for the plants to share those problems. Personally the only problem I have with placing mine too close together is they grow and crowed each other out faster than you would think!

I’m discovering the overcrowding is quickly becoming a thing 😅
