# Please help me!!! I had to bring this plant in from outside a couple…

_Posted by Danny’s garden on 2025-02-23_

Please help me!!! I had to bring this plant in from outside a couple months ago because it was getting too cold for winter. It did ok for a while and now it’s dropping leaves so fast! I thought it was because it wasn’t getting enough light so I bought a grow light off Amazon. Maybe the grow lamp just isn’t a good one I don’t know but I would love some help on what to do please! :)))))

These lights need to be about a foot from the plant.

Thank you I will definitely try that☺️

Run the light at least 12 hours a day. Cut back on watering if growth slows or stops in colder months. Verify it needs water or you could get root rot from overwatering. Watering by the previous warm weather schedule can be excessive in colder months.
