# I have had a tough time with Parodia leninghausii’s light needs. They…

_Publié par Dave\_opuntiaface le 2023-07-03_

I have had a tough time with Parodia leninghausii’s light needs. They crisp for me in even a few hours of direct sun. Even bright grow lights bronze it’s bottom. I spent time moving things around the space so another plant gave it some shade - in order to create some kind of fake natural environment. I gave up because I assumed I had stunted its growth.

Guess what? I put it in a south-facing window that gets bright light or direct sun and had (relatively) exponential growth in a week. That was always the answer ha.

They are really neat, but I almost gave up haha. I even pinned parts of a fake plant above it to give a more “filtered light.”

So interesting!

It clearly told me, “Let me prove I got this on my own so you’ll stop moving me around” hehe
