Starting to think that the recommendations for part shade part sun doesn’t matter. Had these plants under a grow light for 12 hours a day, and they’re growing huge.

Grow lights are different than having it in direct sun, also depends on the distance of the grow light

Nice monstera though lol 😁

Monsteras love light! Grow lights aren’t as harsh as direct sun and don’t give off heat so your plants will eat it right up without having to worry about getting too much direct light (:

Amazing! What kind of grow lights do you use? I kind of want to try with some of my plants because my apt is sooo low on sunlight.

I’m sad that those yellow colors are bad because to be quite honest they’re gorgeous. 😅
