I just got my monstera this past Sunday. It’s in my loft which doesn’t have a bunch of light but enough. Do you all think I need to move it towards direct sunlight or keep it where it’s at ?

Always keep Thai cons in bright indirect sunlight but I would move it a bit closer to the sun or get a grow light

my monsteras love alllllll the light, i feel like if i acclimated them to my south facing window they would actually thrive. gotta be careful moving plants to brighter spots, slowly increase the amount of time they sit in the brighter spot to make sure they don’t burn but still get used to it. she’s beautiful, good luck!

I have monsteras on a south facing porch and they’ve thrived as long as I don’t blast it with the heat from my air conditioner, and take it in during freezing winter temps. They’ve bounced back but I consider them leggy.
