Agh. I figured. I think I can move the table so I can place it there next to the window. Or sumn.

It would be best to move it closer, space is at a premium in my house too 😬

### Dianne K commented on 2023-07-16

Yes I think trade where those smaller plants are by the window. More light equals more fenestrations in the leaves

You could get a growing lamp. They’re like $40 max on amazon
