How can you help your indoor potted plants happily get through this winter? Here are four little secrets, so why not take a look.
1. Change your previous watering schedule
In winter the air at home is fairly dry, and many people think that plants need to absorb more water in winter, but that is not the case.
A horticulturist says: "Many people find that their plants use far less water in winter than in any other season, because plants do not grow much in winter." So if you use the same amount of water all year round, you may inadvertently waste a lot of water.
To see whether your plant is thirsty, poke your finger one inch into the soil; if it is dry there, then it is time to water.
Ferns, however, are a big exception; when the air gets too dry it frightens them.
But do not overwater; fill a tray at the bottom with sand or pebbles and water. (The pot should sit on top of the pebbles, not directly in contact with the water.)
"When the water in the tray evaporates, it humidifies the air around the plant," he says. "Moving moisture-loving plants to a humid place like a bathroom can also help the plants grow."
2. Keep plants away from extremely hot or extremely cold places
No matter what type of heat it is, it may be too harsh for plants.
So avoid placing radiators or heaters on top of or underneath plants.
Plants are likewise suited to growing in cold, well-ventilated places, just as windows may frost over on cold days.
Enfield says: "Most tropical indoor plants like to live at between 65-75 °." If you are not sure about the best temperature, just use a thermometer to check.
