I just moved into a new apartment and the windows are pretty drafty. My monstera is very unhappy… any ideas on warming up my plants?

Edit: it was a watering and moving issue… my monstera was traumatized from moving and being a bit overwatered in my fit of worry😅

I would consider moving the plants away from the window if they’re unhappy with the draft, and supplement light with a grow light

Seal the drafty windows. Check the big box stores for products.

Move the plant away from the draft. Add a grow light.

These work really well for drafty windows.
