๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ๐Ÿก The Best Spots for Indoor Plants During Dark Winter Days
December and January are the toughest months for indoor plants. The days are short, the sun is weak, and even your brightest windows donโ€™t feel as bright as they used to. If your plants seem a little โ€œblahโ€ lately, stretching, leaning, fading, or just looking sleepy, theyโ€™re not failing. Theyโ€™re responding to winterโ€™s low light. The good news? You donโ€™t need a grow-light factory to keep them happy. You just need to understand where the best light still exists inside your home during these dark winter days. Letโ€™s help your plants find their perfect winter spot! โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ. ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก-๐…๐š๐œ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐–๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ: ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐–๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž In winter, the sun sits lower in the sky, and ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก-๐Ÿ๐š๐œ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž for indoor plants. ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ: * * Herbs * Succulents * Citrus trees in pots * Jade plants * Rosemary * Geraniums * Lettuce & leafy greens ๐“๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ: โœ” Rotate plants weekly โœ” Pull them slightly away from cold glass at night โœ” Watch for sudden midday heat on sunny days South windows are the MVP of winter plant survival. ๐ŸŒ… ๐Ÿ. ๐„๐š๐ฌ๐ญ-๐…๐š๐œ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐–๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ: ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‹๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ East windows deliver soft, reliable morning sun.

Cardboard box planters
I just talked with someone about all of her boxes from deliveries, like Amazon. She didn't know what to do with them and felt bad throwing them away. So she decided to decorate or paint them put in a plastic bag and made a planter. I was thinking maybe the larger boxes like from "Chewy" might be usable as a container garden for my porch. I'd probably need to put the box in a large plastic bag so the rain doesn't destroy it. Any thoughts?
