How to care for house plants in winter
Water less
Most houseplants need less water during winter, as they grow at a slower rate.
Overwatering could lead to roots rotting, so be cautious.
Keep it humid
Plants like humidity, generally. Raise the humitidy around your plants to help them stay healthy in the winter.
Or, you could store your plants in a well list bathroom.
Turn your plants
Everytime you water your plants turn them a quarter clockwise, so they each part of the plant can get sun.
An expert has shared an “old-age” test to check if your plants need water.
