Full day direct sunlight is good for flowering plants and veggie plants 6 to 8 hour,indoor plant place in bright indirect sunlight .Clean dust from plant's leaves because that stop sunlight and effect on photosynthesis system. 
Humidity 
                  In winter season humidity level get down so manage humidity level 40% to 60 %  for indoor plants. Flowering and veggie plants are need  50 to 60% humidity level before flowring.
