# I purchased this little grow light for my Cebu blue pothos, she’s in…

_Publicado por Emily el 2024-03-03_

I purchased this little grow light for my Cebu blue pothos, she’s in my hallway with zero light basically. My question is how many hours should I leave the light on and should it be set to a lower intensity to not burn the leaves?

14-16hours you want the most light it can handle without burning so that’s something you’ll have to adjust as you experiment

I have my grow lights on for 8-12 depending on the location. It looks rather far from the plant but hard to tell in photos. I have some of mine 4-6” from my plants. I have a light meter so that helps me know where to put the light and at what intensity.

It probably is a little far, I will have to move it closer. Thank you!!

this is the light meter I use that’s on sale on Amazon right now. I use it all the time! I google the plant and search for the optimal “foot candles” and that tells me how much light to give the plants.
