Natural light, but winter time I have to bring them in and use the grow lights 😃

### Christina commented on 2026-08-10

Both. Try for natural first if possible, but dont think plants should be off limits to those that dont have that option. Plus i live in MI so winter assistance is a must😁

Natural

### VenusFT commented on 2026-08-10

I prefer grow lights because in my house, all the natural light is covered by trees!

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-08-10

Natural light! I have a giant window by my plants and they just love it. Especially my pings!

### Buffy commented on 2026-08-10

I prefer natural light but I have to use a lot of grow lights..no east/west windows and Michigan is a tad overcast at times.. more than a tad if I am honest! 😕

### NativeTexan68 commented on 2026-08-10

Natural is always preferable, but, if I didn’t have grow lights, my plants wouldn’t be thriving as much as they are.

Natural preferred, but too many plants and not enough window space 🤣
