How to Make House plants Thrive?

Just like we slow down in winter, so do our houseplants. Thriving in summer, they are subjected to low light levels, short days, dry heated air, and a chilly house in winter.

Interior plants need less water in winter. A major cause of killing any kind of plant is over-watering. Air spaces in the soil get choked with water. Plant roots need air as much as they need water and nutrients.

LESS H2O.

Plants are dormant in the winter and do not need an artificial boost of growing power.

HOLD THE FERTILIZER.

To accommodate low light levels, keep leafy plants clean. Dust cuts down on the light necessary for photosynthesis, which feeds the plant.

LIGHT AND KEEP PLANTS CLEAN.

To combat dry indoor air, put rocks or pebbles in saucers, and fill with water. Be sure the bottom of the pot is not touching or standing in the water.

INCREASE HUMIDITY.

In February, the lengthening days will produce new growth on your houseplants. Your indoor garden will need more water and some organic fertilizer.

PREPARE FOR SPRING.

Late winter is also time to prune your houseplants. They may have gotten leggy with the low winter light, but you also want to encourage new growth.

CUT AWAY OLD GROWTH.
