Allow me to introduce you all to my newest indoor plant babies! š Iām new to indoor gardening AND in a new home where Iām unfamiliar with the light conditions. Frustratingly, my home only has two light options: second story southwest windows with bright, sometimes direct light in the afternoon and northeast windows lightly filtered to through trees. Please, bless my black thumb with your wisdom. šlemon mint (Monarda citriodora): In potting mix with perlite, facing part sun/part shade (sometimes full sun) on southwest windowsill. šŖ»lavender hidcote blue (lavandula angustifolia): In potting/perlite/sand mix, facing part sun/part shade (sometimes full sun) on southwest windowsill. šrattlesnake plant (calathea insignus): In tropical soil, facing indirect sun two feet in a desk from southwest window, will be drinking bottled water like the diva Iāve heard he is.
