Usually the fall is mild but we've already gotten a few nights of frost. Brought in my outside plants in a hurry but now I need to do some prep for the lower light and colder conditions.

Although I do have some plant lights and just bought some newer ones that will be here soon, I'd love to know what other folks do to prep houseplants for their indoor lives.

In Kentucky, our plants usually do well in a south-facing sunroom. It isn’t heated, but it also keeps temps above 40 and blocks the wind. If we get into the 20s and lower for days on end, we may add a small heat source for them.
