Slatted Blinds Aid Indoor Gardeners
Winter can be offset by adding potted plants to brighten rooms. Sunlight can harm greenhouse plants indoors, so place plants away from direct southern exposure behind Venetian blinds. Blinds reduce glare and drafts while plants stay healthy with proper watering, typically once a week, when soil stays damp to the touch.
