I've been googling and asking on some of my other online communities so I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask here too~

Our apartment is very low in natural light and we live in a place where the winters are grey and cloudy for weeks upon weeks, and it snows and gets below freezing often :( So I am making plans to move all my plant buddies indoors- any advice? We are looking into grow bulbs, has anyone else had good luck with those? I am mostly worried about light levels. Our one lil kitchen window is getting crowded, and I think the bathroom gets too humid for most plants.

I have cacti and succulents, purple heart, wandering jew, Dracaena fragrans(?), false shamrock, some kind of ferns, philodendron vine... it's an island of misfit plants over here. :P

I've never had a problem keeping my cactus. I have a Christmas Cactus. Not hard to keep. They like a lot of light. I've never had succulents, but I heard they are not hard to keep at all-in fact, they are hardy. Ferns are tough too. Just make sure you have plenty of light.

I don't really have outdoor plants because I live in an apartment.

Your succulents should be fine inside. The purple hearts should be ok but they might lose their color. I would not keep them in the bathroom because the roots could rot :( Don't really know about the others, sorry.

Your philodendron should be fine, they can take a lot of punishment and neglect. What you have to be careful of with the succulents and cacti, is over-watering.

Thank you guys for the advice! Already many of them are getting leggy, but we bought 3 cool white/daylight LEDs for above the plant window and they have already shown signs of improvement! I am hopeful that most will make it through; the biggest challenge currently is the ferns, because they are huge, and suffered some damage before we got the lights. The tops of them are dropping a lot of leaves and getting kind of dry, but all the underneath foliage seems to be doing okay. We'll see what happens.

Fortunately I've had cacti and succulents for a long while, so I can avoid overwatering pretty well. Unfortunately I've killed some of my other houseplants this year by underwatering since I'm so used to a cacti/succulent watering schedule, hehe. Life is about balance right!

I've had my Aloe Vera since 2009 and the steam rotted. It literally just came off and I replanted it in its pot and it's not doing well. I'll probably just end up throwing it out.

Hey, hopefully I'm not just telling you something that you already know, but a lot of ferns tend to grow in humid, misty areas. At least, the ones I've encountered have, so they're probably your best best for the bathroom.

I have a few indoor plants myself that I just keep in front of a window and they're thriving, but then my sister bought her cat (an indoor one) around and, well, he went nuts. He ate my succulent and my cactus, which I'm trying to figure out. Looks like I'll be buying myself some new plants for Christmas.
