I'm moving to a new apartment with much less light, and I'm heartbroken about leaving some of my sun-loving plants behind. Should I try to find them new homes, or is it worth investing in grow lights and seeing if they can adapt?

I'd give it a shot! You'll be able to tell far before (usually) they meet their demise... they may love it pending on what direction the sun is coming from that the will be getting... try a grow light or two if they don't seem happy after about a month.... good luck and happy moving!

Grow lights aren’t that expensive, just try!

Agree with everyone else give it a try and if it's not working out you can sell/re-home.

What did you end up doing? Curious haha

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
