If you put your hand against a window pane, you will probably feel the cold coming from it. The roots of plants feel the same.

According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , contact with the cold will definitely not be to the liking of violets and phalaenopsis.

And it’s not even about the yellowing and falling of leaves (which, by the way, can also be called a gardener’s nightmare), but also about the fact that due to low temperatures, the risk of root rot increases.

Let's quickly find out how to protect our "green pets" from life's vicissitudes.

Ordinary foil insulation, a piece of which you might have left over after renovation, will help you with this.

This material has a cellular structure and a shell with low thermal conductivity, which is what makes it so valuable to us.

Bend the insulation strip so that it fits into the corner between the window frame and the window sill. Secure the ends with double-sided (easier) or masking tape (easier to clean).

If you don’t want to stick tape on it at all – for example, if you regularly open the window to air out the room – simply press a strip of foil insulation into the corner and press it down with pots.
