What are the matters needing attention in indoor plant culture in winter

Winter is the season when plants are most likely to wither, and the dry air and temperature fluctuations of indoor heat in winter will challenge the growth conditions of plants, so what are the techniques of growing plants in winter? Then let's take a look at it.

Watering times reduced

With a few exceptions, most indoor plants are dormant in winter and require very little water, but the frequency of watering depends on the type of plant, the temperature and dryness of the indoor environment, the location of the plant, and whether it is close to heating or other heating devices. Water dormant plants for about two weeks to once a month.

Indoor citrus plants and lucky bamboos are two common exceptions and require constant moisture in winter. Although citrus plants need less water than summer, winter is the fruiting period. So be careful not to let the soil dry completely, which will cause the fruit to fall. Lucky bamboo needs to be moist all year round, so it can be raised in water, not necessarily in moist soil.

Maximize illumination

There is less sunshine in winter, so the intensity of ultraviolet light decreases in winter, and thriving indoor plants may need to be close to the window to get more light. Clean the windows to maximize the light of indoor plants and make the room brighter.

Clean up the dust

If you have large plants, such as indoor palm trees, birds of paradise trees, etc., these plants will quickly collect a lot of dust, thus reducing their ability to receive light, so they can be cleaned, if they are small potted plants, then you can spray the leaves, and for large potted plants, wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.

Stay away from the heating

When we turn on the heating in winter, it is easy to forget the impact of rising indoor temperatures on indoor plants, especially those close to the heating device. To eliminate the risk of any baked plants, heat all indoor plants far away.

Regular inspection

Regularly check indoor plants for signs of pests, isolate infected plants and deworming quickly. Indoor plants are usually more vulnerable to pests. So this needs to be noted.

Should not be fertilized for a long time

Just as dormant plants don't need much water, they don't need fertilizer. In the worst case, fertilizers that are fertilized in winter rather than absorbed by plants can accumulate to a certain extent in potted soil to a certain extent to the detriment of plants.

Pay attention to humidity

Winter will be very dry, so some indoor in order to keep dry, will turn on the humidifier, humidifier can maintain humidity in the dry indoor environment, but has a great impact on indoor plant health. It is more suitable to use manual spray to adjust the humidity of plants and indoor.
