How to prep for cold in Southern US (lemmy.world)

Usually the fall is mild but we've already gotten a few nights of frost. Brought in my outside plants in a hurry but now I need to do some prep for the lower light and colder conditions.

Although I do have some plant lights and just bought some newer ones that will be here soon, I'd love to know what other folks do to prep houseplants for their indoor lives.

I only have 1 southern facing window and I currently have my bed up against that wall. May try to rearrange that room to out my big elephant ear and alocacia there.

I keep most of my pants on a multi level shelf by a west facing window with lights. They do ok but would love to find a set up to keep them warmer and better lit.
