# I need a little help. I am a newbie to Monsteras and I have one that…

_Posted by Lisa H. on 2025-01-06_

I need a little help. I am a newbie to Monsteras and I have one that is in a corner of my living room. It is the only place I have for it and I am concerned about the lack of light. Has anyone had luck with grow lights and using them on Monsteras? I'm wondering which lights are best and how long each day do I use them. Thanks in advance for any advice.

They do great with grow lights. Youll want something full spectrum around 5,000 lux (usually how they market them) start out woth just a few hrs a day and slowly work up to a full day
