I've scoured Google and AI for info but I thought I would ask planta Philo parents now about winter and philos... I live in Seattle in a top floor apartment with lots of big windows. Great for lighting but it's not the easiest for controlling the environment. I've already had to turn on the radiator on a pretty decent level to keep a tropical temperature in the living room lol. I haven't switched on the furnace there is always that next step ... I've weather taped some windows. Humidity is not an issue I have enough plants that they keep it balmy. I will be purchasing more living room and plant furniture soon I figure it would help to get them off the floor. And I've thought about buying a heat pad (just for the philos), worst case scenario. I already have growlights on. Any other suggestions? From your experience what temps do your philos tolerate in the winter? Is a cabinet pretty much mandatory to keep them healthy? I don't mind them slowing down a bit during the dark winter months but I don't want to kill my collection during their first winter... And id rather not have to pay to keep my apartment a sauna all winter long either if I can help it Thank you Philo parents! As you can see Enzo is already giving me dramatic leaf curl and condensation 🤭 so he will need a remedy by winter I expect. Oh and lastly I forgot to mention Seattle has been in the mid to low 50s F and I've been measuring on the floor next to the Philos like 18.1- 20.4C humidity 70-80% . K thanks
