# Hi, just got this beautiful dieffenbachia! Really want to keep it in…

Hi, just got this beautiful dieffenbachia! Really want to keep it in this corner, but is it too far from those north facing windows? If so, would putting it closer a few days week for light help? You can see the whole layout when you click on the post and then the picture. Thanks!!

What about a grow light clipped to the pot? That’s what I have on mine that aren’t facing the right direction.

If that is a diffenbachia with variegation you certainly need to move it closer or give it supplemental lighting with a grow light at least 12 to 14 hours a day! Also those plants can get super leggy as they grow older, I would make sure it has enough humidity around it as well as not allowing the soil to dry out too much

Seems quite dark

Too dark. I have a couple of tall Barrina vertical grow lights that would work for you. Find them on Amazon. One has a tripod base and the other a heavy round metal base.

…or even a floor lamp of your choosing with a grow bulb in it…
