# I think I burnt my precious Pinky baby. Last night, she was closer…

I think I burnt my precious Pinky baby. Last night, she was closer under the grow light, so her leaves burnt. Now, I have her this far from the grow light. Is this still too much?

It’s hard to really know without a light meter, but having it in a timer really helps. My mom is staying over and turned the grow light on in the living room over night as a night light and I have a burnt Aglaonema lol \*sigh\*. So it might just be too long of exposure time, too. I find 4 hours is great for most plants.

Good point! I set it for 10 hours which is probably excessive and they were quite close to the light last night. I guess I gotta do it in increments.

Sorry to hear about your plant :-(

It’s okay, it’s a hearty one! :)  
Don’t worry Pinky will be fine, time heals!
