Well I realized I planted it under the vent, didn't consider that, is it bad? It is Hudson Valley, thinking of trading places w the Sum and Substance cause I think it will get bigger and cover most of the eye sore and then that is when I realize bigger means closer to the vent, so what should I do, will it matter?

Is there a board you can paint same color as foundation you can put in front of vent that can divert air sideways?

had not thought of that, might give it a go it sounds like it might work!
