Raising annuals indoors

From Bedding Plants

Raising plants on the windowsill

Plants raised on windowsills indoors will not usually match the quality of those raised in better conditions in the greenhouse. However, once planted out they have a habit of catching up as summer growth develops. If you can tolerate propagators and pots scattered around the house, then take advantage of the differing light conditions afforded by windows of different aspects and the varying temperatures available in different rooms in the house. By moving seedlings and young plants from one place to another as they grow, and as the season warms, it is possible to minimize the effects of the low, one-sided lighting and of the dry atmosphere.
