@plantLadyoJxx Optimal Light Conditions for your Monstera: Bright, indirect light is the gold standard. The foliage should cast a soft, fuzzy shadow rather than a sharp, crisp line.Tolerable: They can survive in medium or low-light rooms, but growth will slow down dramatically.Direct Light: They can handle a few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sunlight, but must be slowly acclimated to avoid sunburn. Signs Your Monstera is Getting the Wrong LightNeeds More Light: New leaves stop developing their signature splits (fenestrations), growth becomes "leggy" or stretched out, and the soil stays damp for too long.Getting Too Much Light: The leaves will develop dark brown or bleached, yellow patches from sunburn. Using Grow LightsIf your home lacks natural light, you can easily supplement with full-spectrum LEDs. Position the grow light about 12 to 18 inches above the highest leaf and run it for 10 to 12 hours a day.
@plantLadyoJxx it will probably do just fine in the sunnier months, but may struggle other times of the year. You might also double check that the soil is an aroid mix or very well draining, as lower light will cause a much slower uptake of water leading to root rot.
