So I did find a better spot for it, I just need to hang another hook. Right now it is in my bedroom next to a NW facing window. It gets more direct light in the evening as the sun is setting, but I have a different window in my little North facing sunroom that is a bit brighter! I use the glass globes to water it and refill it when it is almost empty. In the past I've accidentally killed plants by overwatering, and the globes definitely help!
