# The app tells me this plant is not getting enough light but it was…

_Publié par 24k le 2025-04-23_

The app tells me this plant is not getting enough light but it was getting tons of light at the large window and I moved it just yesterday.

It looks more unhealthy in real life than it does in these photos. Any suggestions on how this plant can thrive?

In what way does it look unhealthy? Brown leaves, drooping, etc. because it could look like it for a multitude of reasons.

Thanks for the reply. Leaves are bit droopy. There were some brown leaves I pruned. No new growth since I brought it home from the nursery 5 weeks ago. Not sure if that “white fur” in the first photo is normal?

Hmm, strange. How often have you watered your Hypoestes?

#### 24k ha respondido el 2025-04-24

Every 4-5 days

#### Plant lover ha respondido el 2025-04-24

I usually would water mine every three days-ish, is it close to a window?

mine sits near a Barrina strip grow light, gets fertilized once a week at 80% humidity, and she won’t stop growing ✂️

Yep these babies love humidity!
