During the winter, indoor plants are subject to even more stress due to shorter days, excessively dry air, and other factors.
Therefore, the gardener does everything possible to make life easier for the plants during this difficult period.
Many indoor plants come from the tropics, where they are accustomed to certain conditions.
Let us turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding this issue.
How to Help Houseplants Survive the Winter
Here are some tips.
- Reduce watering. As the daylight hours decrease, flowers begin to grow more slowly and do not want to receive abundant water.
- Sufficient amount of light. This is an important condition for the growth of flowers.
- Protection from overcooling or overheating. The air temperature should not fall below +15 degrees.
- Change the feeding regime. Reduce the amount of fertilizer applied in winter.
- Protection from pests and diseases. The plant is weakened in winter – inspect the flower regularly.
