Shorter days, cooler air, and cranked-up heat in the house: fall quietly changes everything for your plants. The good news?

Let’s walk you through the practical stuff you’ll actually use (no PhD required), point out common mistakes people make, and show how simple adjustments to your fall plant care can help make the seasonal transition painless.
As the weather cools, your houseplants need protection from cold nights and short days. Learn exactly when and how to move plants indoors, plus lighting tips to keep them thriving with Soltech grow lights.
Research shows that common culinary herbs like basil, mint, parsley, and thyme adapt well to indoor conditions when given enough light. The key to success is recreating their natural environment: bright light, consistent moisture, and good airflow.
Plant experts recommend choosing compact herb varieties bred for container growth. They’re more tolerant of smaller pots and limited indoor light.
When the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, it doesn’t mean the fresh flavor of summer has to end. Fall is the perfect time to start an inside herb garden—a way to bring basil, rosemary, mint, and other favorites into your home so they’re always within arm’s reach.

This guide breaks down what specs actually matter (lumens, wattage, PPF, CRI, full spectrum, etc.), how light science works, and how Soltech lights stack up for your plants and your space.
