Winter care hacks for your indoor plants

By Apurva P

1

Avoid overwatering

During winter, avoid overwatering indoor plants. Your plants do not need as much water as they used to need in summer months. 

2

Ensure sunlight

Ensure they receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Place them accordingly. Besides, rotate the pots often for even growth of the plants.

3

Skip fertilizers

Refrain from using fertilizers, as plants function slower during winter and may not produce new leaves or stems. 

4

Check for pests

Regularly check for pests on leaves and stems. Use alcohol-dipped cotton balls or neem oil to remove them. 

5

Expect leaf shedding

Expect natural leaf shedding during fall and winter due to reduced light and food. Remove older leaves from overgrown plants to maintain a bushier appearance.
