# My Tineke started dropping its bottom leaves… 2 today. Using a grow…

_Publié par Kattygirl le 2024-05-05_

My Tineke started dropping its bottom leaves… 2 today. Using a grow light about 2 ft away. Is it too far? Should I move the plant to a window? I only have west facing windows in my apartment.

Move it toward more light. Make sure the water isn’t soggy. You might have to repot it. These tend to be very picky and you just have to find the right balance

Thanks. I’ll move it and hope that helps :)

Completely agree! I also had to move mine to a much warmer spot this winter, it was dropping leaves like crazy.
