# HELP! We had our monstera (Monty) in our dining room which wasn’t…

_Posted by Chiara on 2025-09-27_

HELP! We had our monstera (Monty) in our dining room which wasn’t nearly enough light, he was in the back of the room which got a few hours of faint indirect light so I am trying a new space, but the sun shines in from the window to the left not to the right, will he get enough sun here? We had him in our flat before infront of floor length windows in a corner and he thrived but all light we get is so dim in our house. PLEASE HELP WHERE DO I PUT HIM, sincerely a plant novice (I have moved him slowly from each place to not cause shock)

If you’re that invested in it, a tall standing grow light would benefit Monty enormously.

Thank you! We have looked into this but we have a severe lack of plug sockets downstairs, but any tips for what kind of bulbs would also be greatly appreciated as we think this may be our best hope!

Sansi makes great bulb grow lights.

You could probably look for ideal light ranges for monsteras online, and then look for a bulb accordingly

Thank you so much
