Just got this monstera. Not 100% sure if this is a good spot? No direct light here.

For optimum growth, it should be in a south window, under a grow light, or in a shaded area outside

It looks good but I’d also get it a grow light. 😊

I have some grow lights. My south facing gets a ton of harsh afternoon sun. And the living room area has a flood burning stove in front. My patio door is also south facing, would it be safe to put it there with sheer curtains? I have some ALBO’s and Half Moons on the way too.
