Hi all! I’ve picked up “plant caretaker” in an effort to find a new hobby.

I currently have these plants propagating as of TODAY!  
\- snake plant  
\- zz plant  
\- tradescantia  
\- pothos  
\- ivy  
\- monstera deliciosa (this one has been propagating for almost a year because I’m terrified to pot it and kill it 😂)

I currently have these plants in soil and have been for awhile:  
\- Jade  
\- ZZ

A plant I’ve had for awhile (got it from Costco last year)  
\- xanthosoma

My questions are:  
\- do my propagating plants need a grow light? They are all in indirect sunlight and have a humidifier on them 24/7  
\- my xanthosoma is struggling (browning and crunchy leaves (I have 1 healthy looking leaf that just unfolded about 3 weeks ago and is thriving!). The app said to increase humidity and repot so I did that today. Should I add a grow light?!  
\- my zz plant was just repotted today becuase it outgrew its original pot, grow light??  
\- my jade plant is looking a little sad and not nearly as full as it used to be. What can I do??  
\- I snipped my Ivy because it was in a hanging wine bottle and all of a sudden died off. So it’s in water. Should I add a grow light?  
\- how long should the grow lights be on for and how often?!?!

If you read this far, THANK YOU! I’m just trying to be the best plant caretaker I can be :)

i know that pothos don’t like light so don’t give them a grow light. if the plants already have sun then they probably don’t need a grow light. and for how long the grow light should be on- it just depends on the plant. if they need full sun probably like 7 hours if they don’t need that much maybe just like 4-5 hours.

There’s many variations of pothos and many of mine thrive under grow lights, so I wouldn’t consider what you said to be true
