Experienced gardeners try not to disturb their window greenhouses unnecessarily in winter.

But this does not mean that you can forget about watering and water procedures as such. You need to water and moisturize flowers in winter, and you need to do it wisely.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to water indoor plants in winter.

Tip one: consider the location

Flowers usually grow on the windowsill. But if these are shade-loving plants, you need to remember that in winter, due to heating devices and dry air, the soil dries out faster than the rest of the year. These flowers will have to be watered more often.

Anything that grows near a cool window can be watered less often. The soil stays moist longer here.

If the leaves are wilting, you need to spray. You need to loosen the soil periodically.

Tip two: about hibernation

Succulents and cacti can do without water in winter. They rest in winter, so watering is minimal, they do not need fertilizers.

Only flowering plants are watered regularly at this time.

Tip three: about light

Light-loving crops are moved to the brightest window – the southern one. It also makes sense to think about additional lighting.

Tip number four: water treatments

Indoor plants with large leaves need to be cleaned of dust, wiped or given a shower.

But it is important to remember that most flowers are afraid of sudden changes in temperature.
