Had to pick between a $200 grow light or a south-facing window for my new monstera
Went with the window to save cash, but now I'm worried about winter light. Anyone else ditch tech for a natural setup and regret it?

Get a cheap LED bulb for backup.

Gotta ask, what's your actual winter light like in that window? @kim.wren has a solid point about a cheap backup, but if you're getting like two hours of weak sun, that's a different problem. My friend's monstera got all leggy and sad one winter before she caved and got a light. The window might work if you get decent bright hours, but you gotta be real about what "south-facing" means in your place during December.
