# Losing it’s Pink Nerve color with new growth. I have a grow light at…

_Postat av Ryanash28 den 2025-07-13_

Losing it’s Pink Nerve color with new growth. I have a grow light at 7 (scale of 1-10) about 12 inches from olant and in window because I read it needs a lot of indirect light to keep color. Any advice how to get it back?

It looks pretty dim in that corner even by the window. If that’s a shaded window, such as a north facing window it might not be enough light. Those little stick lights you have are pretty weak and may not provide enough light. Try moving them closer, like almost touching them. If you have a light meter you can measure the foot candles but usually not necessary unless you have a huge collection.

Okay thank you! Do you think cranking it up to 10 first then slowly make it closer? Or just closer? It’s a West facing window but does have a lip over the window. Was thinking I was about to fry them but will definitely bring it on more. Oddly they look super pink under the light (assuming red light) but pull it out and green.
