Here you can find the most essential things that you need to do in order to keep your blooms in shape during winter so that they can survive the harsh conditions and thrive glamorously in the next spring.

1. Bring All Potted Plants Indoors

They will make your house fresher and more attractive. Don’t miss the opportunity to create a bright and cozy atmosphere at home that will certainly make you feel more comfortable! Place potted plants next to a bright window as they will need as much sunlight as possible.

2. Mist And Wipe The Plants

    You probably have lots of tropical plants that grow best in humid conditions. Keep in mind that the air in winter is extremely dry which may be very harmful to this kind of plants. That is why it is a good idea to spray them with a light mist at least once a day.

    Keeping your plants clean during winter is also essential if you want to preserve them fresh and healthy. Remove all of the accumulated dust and debris so that your flowers can breathe. A quick wipe can keep them clean, healthy and good-looking.

4. Cover The Plants Outdoors

    After you’ve brought all of the potted plants indoors, it is time to take good care of the ones that have to stay outdoors. The first thing you can do is make a safe shelter that will protect the plants from the cold. You can use old blankets to cover the most fragile plants in your garden. Make sure the blankets are not touching the leaves of the plants so that they won’t damage them.

    Blankets are helpful when it comes to protecting the plants from the frost. However, they are not enough to save the plants from the extremely low temperatures.
