Hi Planta People! I could use some assistance. Is enough light for my Ficus Burgundy? This is 2pm afternoon lighting. My plant is surrounded by windows but about 3 FT from the main window that shines in bright light.

Should be enough

### Adrian commented on 2024-09-02

It depends on how many hours of light it actually gets. Mine is in my south windowsill, which gets 7+ hours of light. Anything around 5-6+ hours should be good, but if it only gets 2-4 hours, you might wanna find a brighter place. Hope this helps!

Mine wasn't getting enough light and sulked and dropped a lot of leaves. Moved her a few months ago to a window with lots of direct light in the mornings and she's put out about five new leaves since then.

Since the leaves are darker, I don’t think it requires bright light. Mine is facing south but I did not open the curtains regularly.
