Hey there! I got a notification on the app about insulating the plants due to the cold temps here in Tennessee. It popped up and suggested wrapping my plants in newspaper or placing in brown paper bags. I don’t have either. I can’t seem to find the pop up to gather more information. Should I do something like this and could I use something else than newspaper or paper bags?

I live in Canada and the temp outside is currently -20°C, didn’t get any kind of notification! As long as your house is warm and insulated, they should be fine. If your windows feel cold when you’re standing next to them, maybe move your plants back from them a bit.

I will move them away from the back door window and the ones I have in the kitchen window. There is a ceiling vent in both areas so hopefully that will help some. Thank you for your advice. I have family by the Montana/Canadian border and it does get so cold up there.

Make sure they’re not touching the window or close to it, putting them in groups like I have in this photo has helped me a lot :)
