With more and more people now indulging in home-made gardens, indoor plants are in huge demand. This is because these plants are easy to maintain and occupy less space.
Now that the temperature has begun to fall and winter has arrived, indoor plants can also suffer due to the change in weather. Here are some tips to take care of them.
During the winter season, most of the plants go into a dormant state, which affects their growth. At this time, it becomes important to keep a check on the amount of water that is given to the indoor plants.
It becomes essential to mulch the plants in winters because this maintains the temperature in the soil by absorbing excess moisture around the plants and provides adequate warmth to the roots of the plants.
During the winter season, it is important to keep the plants inside as it is cold. The plants are kept inside because the temperature inside the house is lower than the outdoors, which helps in its proper growth.
During the winter, the leaves of these indoor plants dry up. Gradually, these leaves receive energy and nutrients from the plants. So, it becomes important to cut and remove the dried-up leaves.
