Introduction

If you’re like me, you have a collection of houseplants that have been with you through the good times and bad. I’ve had a few plants die over the years, but mostly they just get bigger and happier as time goes on. But when winter comes around, my green friends need some extra care if they’re going to make it! That’s why I’ve put together this list of tips for taking care of your indoor plants during the colder months.

Before winter arrives, move your plants indoors.

Before winter arrives, move your plants indoors. This will allow them to thrive in your home environment and keep them from dying from the cold. To prepare for this big move, you need to:

• Move all outdoor plants inside just after the first frost hits the ground. If a late freeze is expected, cover any exposed roots with mulch or thick blankets of hay or straw until temperatures drop below freezing again.
• Prune back any dead wood on woody plants like roses and trees to help them better survive the winter months ahead by removing some of their oldest branches—but always leave at least one healthy bud behind!

Now that you’ve got your indoor space ready for wintertime houseplants, what should you do with all those outdoor ones? You could bring them inside (if they aren’t too large), but remember: most indoor spaces are small! If that doesn’t work out well enough for either party involved…

Houseplants need to be in warmer temperatures during the winter months.

In the winter, houseplants need to be in warmer temperatures. Ideally, they should be kept somewhere that is at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius). Place your plants near a window where they can get some sunlight during the day. Make sure that the plant is not sitting directly on top of a radiator or other heat source because this can cause damage to the plant and may even kill it.

Be mindful of how much sun your plants are getting during the winter.

Plants need water in the winter.

To keep your houseplants happy, you need to water them. You can use a watering can or a hose or just pour water from the sink into their pots. You’ll want to make sure that the soil is moist but not sopping wet. If there is standing water in the pot, remove some of it. This will help prevent root rot and mold growth on top of the soil!

If you want to use a watering can, fill it with cool tap water (not cold). Fill up one side of the watering can so that when you tip it over onto your plant, only an inch or two of water comes out—this helps prevent overwatering as well as giving each plant too much of an opportunity to take up too much moisture at once!

Can’t find any more space in place? No problem; just put some plastic bags around their base so they don’t get too wet from rainfall outside!

Groom your houseplants before you bring them back inside.

If you’re going to be bringing your houseplants inside, it’s a good idea to give them a quick grooming before you bring them inside. If they’ve been outside all year, they’ll probably have some dead leaves and stems that have dropped off.

• Remove any dead leaves or blooms from plants (but don’t remove any new growth).
• Prune back any long, straggly stems so that the plant looks neat and tidy.
• Check for pests or disease on your plants and treat as needed if you find anything bad happening in there!
• You might want to clean up any messes that have happened since last winter—dead leaves and other debris left behind from winter winds can make it hard for your plants to get enough light when you bring them indoors again this spring.”

No more fertilizing!

• Stop fertilizing your houseplants in the fall.
• Don’t fertilize your houseplants during winter months, or until spring arrives.
• Don’t feed any of your houseplants before bringing them back outside for the summer (even if you’re planning on moving them to an outdoor container).

If you care for your houseplants during the winter, they’ll be ready to go back outside in the spring!

What are the best ways to care for your houseplants during the winter?

• Watering: Be sure to water your plants regularly, but don’t over-water them! You can tell if your plant needs water by looking at the soil. If it is dry up to about an inch down from its surface, then it’s time to water. Use a watering can or pour some water into the planter until you see that there are no dry spots in it when you’re done pouring. This will prevent root rot and other issues caused by too much or too little moisture in the soil.
• Grooming: Trim back any dead leaves or stems that may be hanging on after they’ve died so they don’t become moldy and attract pests like gnats (which love rotting leaves). This will also help keep your houseplant looking healthy overall since dead parts don’t get as much sunlight, which could make them appear duller than usual!

Conclusion

If you take care of your houseplants during the winter, they’ll be happy to see you when spring rolls around again!
