Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle with my succulents. I currently have a cozy garden at my house where I keep my cactus and succulents in a greenhouse, and they love it outside when the weather is nice. But I'm moving in with my girlfriend in six months, and she's more of a city person without a driver's license, which means I'm saying goodbye to my garden. The problem is that I have no idea where to put my plants in our new apartment. I can't just stick them by a window, especially since I don't know if the apartment will even have a south-facing window. Plus, I'm worried about how to keep them alive through the winter. I'd really appreciate any tips or advice you could share! Happy gardening! ^_^

You could definitely think about setting up a dedicated plant shelf with some quality grow lights. Without enough natural sunlight, a grow light will be super helpful. Just look for full spectrum bulbs as they work best for high light plants like succulents! Check out some recommendations on the sub.
Honestly, a simple solution could be grabbing a small shelf unit and investing in a good grow light. Just make sure you have enough space and consider downsizing your collection a bit if needed.
Yeah, definitely use grow lights! They’re essential if you don’t have adequate sunlight in your apartment. Just avoid those 'blurple' lights; they usually don’t provide the right intensity for healthy succulents. You can find good options by searching around or checking the wiki for some great tips!
