How should I give my plant more sunlight if the only sun access I have is on my balcony, and on the balcony I don’t have a good amount sunlight for my plant so what should I do?

Can you get a grow light out there?

#### Adythetomatofarmer antwoordde op 2024-06-06

The board doesn’t allow us to have grow lights

#### Pamela antwoordde op 2024-06-06

Oh sheesh… sorry

I think it's still receiving bright indirect light from that angle, but if it starts to show signs of not getting enough light I'd move it

I’m in the same boat smh

If there’s a part of your balcony (like one section of the railing) that gets more sunlight than the rest, perhaps get a raised plant stand or a stool to put the plant on so it gets more of the light that might reach more of the railing than the balcony (hope that makes sense)

Is there a window in the house you can have it by that has much more light ?

### KelseyC reageerde op 2024-06-06

Do you have a porch or balcony light? You could put a grow bulb in there and help it get a little ambient light

It’s about 8:55 PM here in Philadelphia. I took this picture anyway because it’s not about the plant but the location instead.

This is the railing a person holds onto as they exit my home and down 4 steps to the sidewalk. The front of my house gets more sun than the back of my house. As the sun rises in the east it appears in my yard then the front of the house later. And as the sun moves west over the alley way it then becomes hidden by my own house’s 2story height. The sun in my yard is over by 1PM.

The front of the house is the same but because my neighbors house across the street is further from me, thentheir house does not create shade until much later in the day.

I thought tomato plants would be ok in my yard with morning sun. Nope. Any tomato, bell peppers, and Fig Trees that I grow to eat , I leave in the front of my home along with the public sidewalk. 😎

Your choices are:

A.) Throw caution to the wind and find an interesting place in the sun where you can plant it, water it, and care for it so you can have a few tomatoes.

B.) Work with Apartment Management on where residents can have a community garden if residents were interested. And then get other residents interested so you all can have a little section of life and produce.

Remember…  
We all can be leaders and examples for others to follow. 🌱🎋🫛 🍅
