So frost is on the horizon, Summer has left us behind, All the potted plants will have to give up fresh air. Mostly they go down in the basement, where temperatures stay pretty constant. This isn't to bad, there is a little light coming in the window. Most of them live, but they really don't grow much. Do we need a fancy high dollar "grow light", or would a good florescent light make them happy. oh what they are ... basil, rosemary, bay laurel, boston fern, peace lilly, and a bunch of aloe (The wife sort of went crazy with aloe).
My dusty miller grew fine in our basement last year. Its not the warmest place but the plant didn't freeze either and was fine this past year.
I read somewhere that a good florescent light would work pretty much as well as a grow light would. I would try that first.
