# I keep my PA indoors at a south facing window and it gets several…

_Posted by BrianDaWheelman on 2025-09-28_

I keep my PA indoors at a south facing window and it gets several hours of sunlight per day. I’ve read that it would do better outside but there really isn’t that great of a spot for me to keep it outdoors because I have a covered patio which kills most of the sunlight. From my patio there’s a 5 foot drop to the lawn, accessible by stairs. I use a wheelchair so I can’t get to my back yard easily unless I go through the front door and around the house to the back yard. Even that is not very easy for me. I’m not sure how fast a PA is supposed to grow and I feel I’m doing it a disservice keeping it indoors but it’s where I’m able to best enjoy it and care for it. Am I overthinking this?
