Winter Care for Indoor Plants

WELCOME TO
QUICK TIP TUESDAY'S
 
Houseplants are a great way to bring warmth and texture to a home, especially in winter when gardens outdoors are brown and grey, or covered in snow. 
 
Unfortunately most homes are also very dry in winter months, which leaves houseplants screaming for moisture, as well as becoming more prone to certain diseases. Overwatering is not the answer. The problem is humidity.
 
 Unless you are raising cactus, most houseplants need at least 50% humidity in order to survive. The best way to raise the humidity level and keep luscious leaves thriving, is to install a humidifier, or at minimum to mist foliage on a regular basis. Check your local Home & Garden store for Humidity Index cards that monitor the levels of humidity near plants.
