With the direction the window is facing, It gets direct light
from about 1:00 on.


Light through a window is never the same as outside, some frequencies
are cut out. As far north as you are the light intensity is also greatly
reduced.

I also have a small fluorescent light I put on it

Unless the light is within one inch of the foliage you are not helping
much.

Light is a fascinating subject. Direct sun is just about impossible to
reproduce. Artificial light sources such as florescent tend to drop off in
effective energy for plants very quickly,
