Indoor pot plants in the cold

In a bid to keep heating bills down we've haven't had the heating on too much but my pots plants are looking a bit sorry for themselves and aren't exactly thriving. The house is a bit draughty and lots of them are tropical plants.Anyone else have this and is there anything you can do to remedy it, aside from turning the heating on or moving house.

Marijuana plants are tropical so need lots of heat, that’s why they look sorry.
indoor plastic greenhouse? Grow bulb?
place in the warmest room/best sunlight. Hope pray, spring is near?
my oxalis looks spotty limp and sickly.

Keep them away from draughts and make sure they get water and light. I guess that's all you can do.

(I think the previous poster has misunderstood the term "pot plant".)

Same here OP. Lots of our calatheas and similar are looking very sorry for themselves. Am just hoping it warms up soon and they start to pick up!

Also chuckling at the pot plant misunderstanding... 🤣😵‍💫
