Hey everyone!

New to the app, and I thought I would just ask a quick question to the pros.

Is this enough light for my new monstera albo??im a little worried since I’ve heard contradicting things about their light needs…

It’s a north facing window in Alberta for reference.

I'm not an expert, but I think she'd likely do better closer to the window.

### Holly commented on 2025-07-13

She looks gorgeous! You could maybe do a suspended grow light over her if you like where she’s at in your place

### PrettyLittleThings commented on 2025-07-13

They love bright, indirect light.... I agree to Magz, closer to the window more. Even if there's partial sun, she'll do best as long as she's acclimated. Also, bear in mind that she'll be facing wherever the light is, so best if there's a place that she's facing it and you enjoy her beauty as well. Or yes, a grow light is the best, per Holly 😊

Thank you for the tips! Anything else you’d recommend for my new monstera??

You're welcome! That's it from me, just the basics, lol. I only fertilize when Planta tells me to, but not always. They just grow amazingly beautiful on their own 🥰

### AldoF commented on 2025-07-14

Thank you all! I’m looking forward to growing my new Albo!

Beautiful plant 💚  
I agree it will likely need more light.  
Here’s a pick of an inexpensive clip on grow light. It will do the trick or just move it up to the window where it’ll get at least 8 hours of bright indirect sunlight.
