My plants are right by a window and it's starting to snow here. The light is still great and it doesn't feel that cold where they are.. will my plants go dormant? Wondering if I should move them to a setup with grow lights over the winter.

I would! I live in a warmer place, but two years in a row I’ve made the same mistake of leaving my monstera right inside the window for the few weeks of cold weather and it’s really struggled even though it doesn’t feel cold to me

I’d say it depends on the temp in your house. I have north facing windows only (hello grow lights). Last winter my plants that are near the window did just fine. Night time heat as low as 63, daytime only to 68.

Thank you for the advice!

If you have moved your outdoor plants inside for colder temps, yes, they will need grow lights (and some plants will go dormant). However, if they were already indoor plants, keep doing what your doing. They look great. Maybe must them in between watering because with using a heater it dries out soil sooner. Hope this helps ❤️
