# My dad gifted me this set of plant stands. The one on the left is in…

_Posted by LadyTenorJD on 2025-07-08_

My dad gifted me this set of plant stands. The one on the left is in my great room. The one on the right is in my living room. Obviously, I need more plants to fill the holes in my living room. My mother told me to stop buying plants. I'm the newbie in my family when it comes to plant parenthood, but I'm officially an addict. 🤭

I JUST bought one like these today! Have you tried the lighting yet?

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-07-08

Yep! The lights are on during the day. I took this photo after midnight EST, so that’s why they are off right now. They have been up for almost a week, and the plants are very happy under the lights.

Since you asked about the lights, here are some shots of them with the lights on. The Monstera at the top has his own grow light, as that corner is a bit dark because my curtain is pulled back there (the sliders ro my screen porch are on the right, but since the porch has a concrete block roof and not just screening, it's shaded there.

And the one in my living room...this room is bright in the morning, but some of the plants under the lights need more light as the window is 5 feet away.

These shelves are on their way to me as we speak… and clearly you can’t have empty shelves! MORE PLANTS! (Also, I’ve never been a voice of reason… you may not want to take advise from me)

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-07-08

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 We are only voices of reason when it comes to plant care...not plant purchases! 🤣🤣🤣

Very similar to mine. I have them facing each other. Guess it’s a popular style. I’ve had mine a couple years.

Yes. I saw that one on Amazon also. My dad opened his Amazon app, searched plant stands, shoved his iPad across the kitchen counter st me, and told me to pick whatever I wanted. I was raised to do as my parents say, so I obliged him. 🤣🤣🤣

Can't have empty plant shelves 😆 I suggest an orchid or an african violet. Lowes actually had some catleyas and dendrobiums the last time i went

### LadyTenorJD commented on 2025-07-11

I have an orchid I was gifted. I have never kept them alive, so I don’t want to have more than one right now. 😆

### Samantha S commented on 2025-07-14

Ohhh I love these! I’m the same. In the last three months or so, I’ve gone from a sad money tree to a total of 9 thriving plants! Ordered my plant stand to arrive this week and my set up will look very similar. Can’t wait!!!

Post pics when you’re up and running! Welcome to the plant world. 👍🏽👍🏽
