This is probably a dumb question, but it is something I have been thinking about. Would a common house plant suffer if placed on a table near a new window with Lo-E coating? Has anyone who has house plants noticed a difference before and after getting new coated windows installed?
Lo-E windows and houseplants.

They live fine with lowE, figure most houseplants are tropicals anyway that never get full sun in nature.
Low-e will pass less light overall than standard glass, but it does pass most of the light in the ranges that most plants need, so there is not a great deal of difference. For some plants that difference may become critical if the plant had been receiving just enough before.
