Unique ideas To Take Care of Your Plants in Winter

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.

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.
