How close exactly is the cactus from the grow light?

#### c.cat antwoordde op 2024-03-01

probably 3 or 4 inches 😅

I would say yes. Mine is darker green. I think yours will darken if you move the light a little further away though

This is an old pic, I’m just too lazy to go turn on the lights and do a photoshoot lol

It looks happily sun stressed to me. If you want it greener, do pull up the lights a bit.

#### c.cat antwoordde op 2024-03-01

might have to move the plant, as the light is on the bottom of the shelf above it- but thank you!

It’s a beautiful pastel color!
