# Hi All, I am considering adding a long plant shelf above this door…

_Sarahさんが2024-07-21に投稿しました_

Hi All, I am considering adding a long plant shelf above this door and windows. But wondering if it’ll be enough light? My current plant shelving is about 20 feet away from this door and those plants are doing well. You can also see in this photo that there’s an air vent in the ceiling that can be redirected as to not blow on the shelf if I put one up. This photo is taken at 2:45pm so it shows the afternoon lighting situation. Thanks for any opinions!

You will need grow lights above the entry. It’s too dark.

Agreed. You could probably but very low light plants but you should probably still supplement with lights.

#### Sarahさんが2024-07-21に返信しました

Suggestions for low light plants that are on the easier side to keep alive?

#### Adamさんが2024-07-21に返信しました

Pothos, some trailing philodendrons, zz plant

Looks like a great place to put those attachable tube lights.

#### Sarahさんが2024-07-21に返信しました

Do you have a photo or link of the ones you’re referring to?

### SharonEさんが2024-07-21にコメントしました

I mean grow light strips. My DIL uses them in cabinets. No brand to recommend. They won’t let me post link. Look on Amazon

#### Sarahさんが2024-07-21に返信しました

Thanks for the suggestion!

If you go with the “low light” plants a good tip is to buy them at the size you want them to be. Plants like Zz and snake plants can survive in low light, but they won’t grow. If you want them to thrive \& grow, they need lots of light.

Good to know about snake plants. I can’t seem to get the lighting correct for my two snake plants. I’ve read high light and low light for them and have tried both but they’re still having a hard time thriving.

hmm…mine does beautifully in a west facing window. they really like bright light and infrequent watering

#### Sarahさんが2024-07-22に返信しました

I’m going to move them today to an eastern facing window and see what happens. A couple months ago I split and repotted them from one plant into two so I know they’re still trying to get reestablished but definitely have lighting issues too. Thanks for the input!!
