Winter is that season of the year when your plants need special care. There is less sunlight and excessive wind ready to spoil the day for your plants during winters. You get a pretty dry climate during this season, which is certainly not good for the plants. It is a good time for houseplants, but then you need to remember that plants need special care during this season. You will need to be careful about the kind of atmosphere you provide to these plants. Here are a few tips that you can use to care for your plants during winter season.

Water as Needed

During winter, most plants don’t need too much of water. You will need to constantly check for the moisture level of these plants to check for the water needs. In case, the soil is dry along a 2 inch depth, then you will need to water these plants.

You should also allow the water to drain out; in case it does not drain out on its own, then you should try to dump the excess water. But, before draining the water out, check if the plant needs a moist soil, or can make do with dumping out the excess water. The water quality also matters here as salty water can spoil the soil and later the health of the plants also.

Fertilization Needs

During the growth season, the houseplants require food to grow. You won’t need to feed the plants during winters, as summer and spring is considered to be the feeding months for plants. In case you are planning to fertilize during winters, then you should do so sparingly.

Try to use diluted fertilizer, and only when the plant sets in should you start feeding again. You can also take support of experts while choosing the fertilizer for various plants as same fertilizer may not be useful to all the plants also.

Keep your Plants Clean

It is important to clean your plants, and winter is a good season to perform this task. Your plants will be able to breathe only when you remove the dust and debris accumulated on them. You should also remove the unwanted pests. Give them a bubble bath, and care for them as you would for a child. Use diluted washing solution to rinse the leaves with soapy water. Wipe the plants clean.

You can even use the shower heads at low pressure to perform the cleaning. The manual shower can be best for the small plants. It is always better to shower in the morning time as the plants also fell fresh at this time.

Miscellaneous

Know the temperatures that are required by the plants, and ensure you maintain that temperature during the winters. Keep plants away from cold drafts and vents for their safety. The foliage of your houseplants should not be anywhere near the windows, and the humidity level should be at 40-50%. Make sure you don’t repot during winters.

Make sure you take care of your plants during winter, as that is the growth period. This is the time when your plants will grow and reap beautifully. Plants must not be exposed to too much sunlight as well as the constant wind which can damage them much. Here you must also take care of the plants against various insects and use proper pesticides in case of growth of insects.
