# Wondering if my ruby cascade is getting enough light. Looks a little…

_Posted by exholy on 2023-12-09_

Wondering if my ruby cascade is getting enough light. Looks a little etiolated to me and I think the reds aren't as saturated as they could be - but I'm not sure. She's about three feet from an east window, but I could put her in a hanger 2 feet closer. Opinions please!

Wow! First time seeing this plant, so I don’t really have advice… but I just wanted to mention that it’s beautiful and it’s now on my plant wish list.

You are correct about not enough light.

i agree she looks a bit etiolated. peperomia in my experience prefer really bright light. 4-6 hours of direct sun seems to keep mine happy

I had mine directly in an east facing window and it did beautifully. Yours might be a little too far from the window.
