Hi. I got a new Boston fern on Friday and the grow light was delivered Sunday. I was wondering if the light was sufficiently placed.

It looks like a happy plant. I’m no expert but the light looks wonderful.

Measure the amount of light reaching the plant with a light meter app or with a light meter device. Check online for the amount of light the individual plant needs to thrive. Light intensity tends to drop off exponentially when the plant is further than 1 foot away from the grow light. The distance depends on the light. Some lights are much stronger than others. 🪴🍀
