The ones that would easily be ruined by squirrels live indoors all year, but most of my plants go outside for the summer, and come back to either the basement or the windowsills for the winter. All the basement plants grow under lights, and I've been transitioning over the last two years from fluorescents to LEDs with MUCH better light output and results. The windowsill plants are in windows with a southeast exposure, due to the house being situated along a curve in the road.
Some that require really wet conditions live in clear sterilite totes with LED lights. I've gotten restrepias and a couple dendrobiums to bloom this way, in spite of the slightly milky plastic lid. Even my ledebouria species on the floor nearby have been blooming like mad from those lights, after the light traveled through two layers of the plastic.
So, I have a hodgepodge of growing conditions all over the house.
