Unique ideas To Take Care of Your Plants in Winter 

Do not Over-Water Your Plants:

It is one of the major reasons behind the death of plants. In summers, when water readily evaporates from the leaves and that is why the intake of water is different in that case. But, in the winter you need to take care of water measurements. In general, Topsoil remains dry, that is why you need to dig your fingers at least 2 inches below the topsoil. If that layer has dried, then go for watering or you can skip it.

Buy a Nice Planter:

You must go for a planter with several drainage holes. These drainage holes will help to channel out all the excess water that otherwise will rot the roots. Some of the plants are sensitive to temperature variations and that is why you must remove plants from all sorts of drafty windows, vents, or heaters. Too cold and too warm temperatures are not good for plants to enjoy their stay. Keep all your plants on the side table near the window. 

Buy a Mister Bottle:

Sprinkle water on the plant leaves in case they turn out dry and crunchy.Cut down on the use of Fertilizers: During winters, plants grow slowly, so you must take care of your plants. It would be good if you cut down on the use of fertilizers at this time.
