During the cold season, indoor plants go into a state similar to hibernation. Rarely do they bloom in winter.
It is important to know how to care for flowers so that they bloom lushly in the spring and you don’t have to think about how to save the plants.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to care for flowers in winter.
First of all, light
In addition to water and fertilizer, flowers need sunlight, which is not very abundant in winter.
Because of this, light-loving crops may become lethargic and may even begin to lose their leaves.
It is better to move such plants to the eastern or southern side for the winter.
You also need to rotate the flowerpots 180 degrees.
Secondly, humidity
In winter, flowers should be watered only as the soil dries out.
While they are dormant, they need less water and nutrients.
But we must not forget about air humidity. The easiest way is to place an open container of water nearby.
Thirdly, temperature
The optimal temperature for indoor plants at this time of year is 16-18 degrees Celsius.
It is essential to eliminate drafts. Most plants do not like them and react painfully.
