Question… I have two grow lights because it’s pretty dim in here on overcast days. But should I be shutting them off on sunny days? Or is doubling up on light ok?

    Aroid plants don’t need intense direct sun. Perfect — aroids (like Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, and Anthurium) are generally low to medium light lovers, so here’s a more tailored guide: ⸻ 🌤 On Sunny Days (especially in a bright room): • You can usually turn the grow light off. • Aroids don’t need intense direct sun — bright indirect natural light is ideal. • If they’re near an east or north-facing window (or filtered light from a south/west window), they’re usually happy without supplemental light on sunny days. ⸻ ☁️ On Overcast or Short Winter Days: • Use the grow light to keep their light consistent. • Aroids can get leggy or dull in low light, and growth slows down. ⸻ ✅ Pro Tips: • Aim for 10–12 hours of bright, indirect light per day. • If you’re unsure, try a light meter app on your phone — aroids thrive in about 200–500 foot-candles of light. • If you’re using an LED grow light, keep it 12–18 inches from the top of the plants, depending on the intensity. yes, it’s fine to turn it off on sunny days — especially if they’re getting bright natural light. Just keep an eye on leaf color and stretching (leggy stems), which are signs they may want more light overall.
