    The grow light could be too intense for this plant

    You never use a grow light. Plants always just need to be near windows for light if they need lots of sun

      ... Tell that to all my plants thriving under lights.

      The 27 plants I have growing exclusively under grow lights would beg to differ. I have windows that block light intensity and don't allow the full spectrum of lights in. I can't even grow lower light plants in the windows

      True of apartment dwellers, no good light & usually on one side of the apartment. Mine are all facing east. Grow lights are essential!!!

    There is nothing wrong with using a grow light. Most homes and apartments don’t provide sufficient natural light from all the windows. Commercial nurseries use grow lights with success. The light is likely too far from the plant. Most grow lights need to be within 12” to 14” from the plant unless you are using a very expensive pro light. Also, check the humidity levels. Dry air can cause leaf drop for tropical plants. 🍀🪴

      In addition to this, most of those gooseneck three headed grow lights bought off Amazon don't provide enough ppfd for plants to thrive. I've heard mixed reviews regarding the sansi bulbs, but I've never tried them because of trust issues. For set ups in rooms that I'm frequently in, I use soltech bulbs. They're over priced, but they work for my plants and I like them. For my plants that I brought in for winter and shoved in my basement, I use Mars hydro. But they are blindingly bright.

    If your plants need lots of light only use natural light
