# Hey y’all! Do you think I need a grow light for my new satin pothos?…

_Posted by Taylor on 2026-04-12_

Hey y’all! Do you think I need a grow light for my new satin pothos? These pictures were taken when the room gets the most light during the day. I just don’t know if it’ll get enough/the best amount of light as it is.

How far so you want it to grow? Mine is in a shady spot about 10' back and seems quite content to grow at a moderate pace. The mother to my plant was on a high shelf about 20' away from a south facing window, and it seemed to do just fine there, but wasn't a super fast grower. Give it some time and see how quickly it grows before you decide to spring 💰for accessories ☺️

I would definitely add a grow light. They enjoy bright light. Without they tend to get leggy.
