This is my first monstera and I don’t have a very well lit room, so I bought this grow light and was wondering if you guys think it’s bright enough?

It’s bright enough I use this light on all of my plants and they seem to be thriving

#### Nathan replied on 2025-05-04

Yay! Thank you so much!!!

### Katherine commented on 2025-05-04

Yes! Monsteras are pretty easy with light in my experience, I’m sure it’ll be fine!

#### Nathan replied on 2025-05-04

Alright, thank you!! By any chance do you know if my orchid will be okay with one of them as well?

#### Katherine replied on 2025-05-04

It depends on how far in bloom it is, usually if it’s bloomed it doesn’t need as much light. I also wouldn’t put it too close under the light, but some of the light should help!

Orchids also prefer red or blue lights instead of yellow
