# Can anyone give me suggestions as to why my little plant is not…

_Posted by SproutBabe on 2024-03-12_

Can anyone give me suggestions as to why my little plant is not growing? It’s a Dracaena fragrance. I’ve had it for a while and it just doesn’t seem to be getting bigger!

Also wanted a recommendation on whether I should get a moss pole for my monstera plant. I’m looking to improve the quality of life. Any tips greatly appreciated!

So I recently bought a moss poles for my Monstera and it has helped tremendously. The stems were getting so long and the leaves so big that it was weighting them down. I would 100% recommend getting one!

Awesome!!!! I will buy one right now!

My guess would be that little sliver of light where the blinds are pulled up isn’t enough. The top of the plant can’t see the sky. Inadequate lighting conditions.

Even with the grow lamp? It’s quite a tall lamp but perhaps you’re right. I’ll see if I can fix it.

#### Sarah replied on 2024-03-12

I didn’t even see the grow light. That’s way too far away from the plant. You want them pretty close, but not too close where you’ll burn it.

Okay I figured! Thank you so much for your help

i think the light is fine with the blinds this way. does this window allow bright light? it prefers bright, indirect light. also do you fertilize it?

#### SproutBabe replied on 2024-03-12

I do fertilize it. Unfortunately my house doesn’t get good light and that’s why I have a grow lamp there.
