Most houseplants enjoy sunlight, but will do poorly in winter if left on a windowsill.
Since the sun rarely shines in winter, you will still have to turn on the phytolamps. But other unfavorable conditions will remain.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us which flowers have no place on the windowsill in winter.
Indoor rose
This is a light-loving crop. But dry air from a working radiator, plus drafts and just cold air from a winter window will not please it even more than partial shade.
Therefore, roses are removed for the winter away from radiators and drafts. The lack of light will be compensated by a phytolamp.
Citrus
Like any tropical plant, citrus fruits prefer a warm and humid climate.
Cool air from the window, drafts and a working radiator will create unfavorable conditions for them.
Azalea
This plant blooms in winter and does not tolerate dry air.
It is necessary to control the humidity level. It should not be less than 70%.
Coffee tree
For the same reasons, you need to move it away from the hot radiator, otherwise the leaves will start to dry out.
The tree needs fresh air, but not drafts.
Chlorophytum
A plant that can grow in any conditions, as it turns out, cannot stand dry air.
It will feel more comfortable in a dark and damp bathroom than on a light and dry windowsill.
