Q.How Can I Keep My Plants Alive Due To Delayed Planting Outdoors Because Of Cold Weather

Zone Parma OH 44134 | Anonymous added on May 6, 2021 | Answered

I have started alot of plants from seed indoors under a grow light. And I have removed some of them and planted in small pots and then transplanted again into bigger pots. I can’t plant outside because of unusually cold weather. I’m worried the plants are going to die because I can’t get them outside. This entire weeks is high of 50 degrees with a complete freeze warning for Friday evening. Any advice on what to do. Just to be clear they are no longer under the lights, I do not have room to put all plants due to the larger pots and amount of plants.

They look good! As long as you can keep them near a window, south preferably, they should be OK. If you have any fluorescent lights, they work as well as grow lights. Turn the ones near the window so they don't start reaching out. Any light is better than no light, even if you have to use incandescent.
