Hello,  
I just moved my Canna Lily plants to the basement, for the winter dormant phase as suggested by Planta, however it's telling me there's not enough light (even though it 'told' me to do do). I did change the settings so I don't know what I should do.

I’ve seen some people online put them in large, heavy duty BLACK trash bags total darkness and no heat. Planta is good, but sometimes wrong about what it’s saying regarding wintering. Different methods are better for different zones

Thank you. Now if I can just figure out a way for the Planta app to recognize this 'wintering' stage that would be great 😁
