Got a new dude!

#PothosNJoy Okay, so I recently got my NJoy and he really looks stunning. He's got a pretty heart on his leaf and I really want him to grow. I fear, he might not absorb enough sunlight. My window is currently facing north and it's obstructed. I need tips! 🥲

@binslee Welcome to the Greg community! A spot that receives several hours of bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid prolonged periods of direct sunlight which can burn this pothos' delicate leaves. The n'joy pothos can also be adapted to grow in low light, although it may begin to lose its variegation and become more leggy. check out this website for more info: https://easyplant.com/care/pothos-njoy# Happy Growing!

It's so pretty, Vince! Even though you only have a north window, perhaps you can get it a grow light. There are some inexpensive ones out there that look like regular light bulbs. You can put it in a lamp and put the plant right under the lamp. (:

I've used these before with great success for pothos!

Even Wally World has their foot in the door with off-brand grow lights! https://www.walmart.com/ip/5055219561

I'm on a tight budget so I would even consider getting Walmart's version and see how it grows. (:
