Yes absolutely! I have a ground level or 1st floor apt &when I first moved here all my plants were not happy not at all! I do get some light just not enough to where I really prefer my plants to be.. Trust me it is worth it.
Especially for fall &winter
Okay. I will purchase a plant light. Thank you so much!

Hi Tania!
I noticed your plant doesn't have drainage. It needs to be put into a pot that has ample drainage so that water doesn't sit there and get root rot.
Also, if it's quite cold ๐Ÿฅถ now and throughout the winter, your plants should be away from the windows and placed in other places in your apartment.
Gro lights are a miracle!
I have only a couple of small windows and they face North.
I have 3 sets of grow lights and our plants are thriving.
They love them.
We use them year round set at 8 hours daily during the cold months and 12 hours daily during the warm months.
I would if thereโ€™s minimal light. Especially since your growing succulents that love bright light
I grow my succs in gritty mix with a lil soil mixed in and they seem to love it. Keeps the roots airy and just a lil moisture retention. I havenโ€™t moved mine from the window but they donโ€™t touch the window
@CutePolypremum so move them to table and use my grow light that I have. Also I didnโ€™t finish the update. They have a drainage hole in the nursery pot that I repotted them in.
@SparklyCapemay also my heat vent is near that table. Not too close but close by. I know next time what I need in an apartment next time I move.. lol โ€ฆ whewww!
I made a change.

Awesome ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Your plants also request a humidifier!
