Hey everyone 👋🏼 my potted basil plant needs to be moved inside - I’m wondering what the easiest way would be to keep it alive indoors through the winter? Should I use a grow light?

Basil LOVES light so I would definitely recommend giving it a grow light, unless you have a southern window that still has a good amount of light in the winter

I agree find a good southern window and keep it close to it. Don’t put in window freeze outside csn drop enough temp next to window to shock and kill plant though
