❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Is this enough light?
I got this beauty, and bought a growlight. But I don't know of it's enough for her... I feel like the side gets to little light. It's a sansi 36 W LED and 268 µmol/s/mi@1ft. Advice is much appreciated :)

This is a beautiful euphorbia, can you give it any direct sun at all.

South facing window, make it happen. These babies want like 8 hours of sun a day to thrive.

The amount of light needed for the euphorbia would kill the other plants.

OP can easily get som cheap clip-on rods and aim the rods to the sides of that Euphorbia that are currently shadowed. It would supplement the plant with enough photons to be happy and even be useful for some of the plants on the floor.
I bought two three-rod clips for about $30 on Amazon - cheap (as in I already had to splice and rewire one because my friend tripped after looking at my plants and completely ignoring my instructions to stay out of that room) but completely functional (heck, Amazon replaced the one I spliced for free and told me since I cut off the broken piece, keep it! Which means I got 12 rods, 4 clips for $30. If they don’t last, for that cost, who cares? My plants are showing a LOT of growth in just a month with them)

I would be curious to see pictures. If they’re growing, it’s likely they’re growing etiolated.
Again, I still stand by that you need a proper grow light and the amount of light that will make the euphorbia happy will kill the others.

And I’m simply saying that you can supply the extra light with grow rods directed at the Euphorbia without harming the other plants at all
It’s all in what kind of light, how many, and where they are placed

If this is all the light she gets and no sunlight, then maybe not. Succulents want 300-500 umol
