I have a regular deliciosa in a 10in pot with nearly 1 foot diameter leaves and I don’t think the t10 is enough on its own for mine… and the Thai needs even more light. I have mine as close as I can comfortably get it without touching a leaf. My newer leaves are smaller than the previous telling me it’s not enough. I got it when I was new to plants and it seems these lights aren’t as strong as I thought
