Can anyone tell me if this spot is right for this monstera? Just bought it. Do I need to add a growlight or distance her from the window???

What direction is the window facing?

West

It will be perfect as long as you don’t get any direct sunlight on her. West facing will be your strongest afternoon sun. 🥰

You could move it even more right in front of the window for more sunlight🤷🏼‍♀️
