Hello everyone!
I just bought a Thai Constellation today and was wondering if this spot would be enough sunlight.
The big windows are east facing and the small window at the top by itself is north facing.
This room generally has a lot of light throughout the day and almost always have our shutters open. As much as I would like to put my new plant right by the window, I have three cats who love chewing on leaves.
Any recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Variegated plants have increased light requirements due to having less chlorophyll. This species climbs trees to get as much direct sun as possible. This isn’t even remotely sufficient light exposure. It needs to be acclimated to a sunny window or it needs a hefty lighting system. If using window light, it needs to be right in the window and not away from it. Best of luck! 💚
I’d get a grow light if it needs to be in that spot.
My Thai con is sitting directly in front of an east facing window and it’s still not enough light.
It being that far from the window will have a real effect on the quality and intensity of the light.
If you’ve got a spot closer to the window that would be preferable for your Thai con!
Get a grow light.
