Even though they are kept indoors, houseplants can still be affected by the cold winter months. Drastic changes in temperature, including some periods around or below freezing and a lack of sunlight, can have a real impact on how to care for houseplants over winter and whether or not they will make it until spring.
‘In a time when we are spending most of our day indoors, it is more important than ever to bring these small touches of nature indoors,’ says Dani Turner, customer experience director at Bunches. However, many houseplants ‘are normally from tropical and warm temperate regions where they don’t experience the same winter temperatures as we do in the UK,’ Hayes Garden World's gardening expert, Angela Slater, explains. Because of this, they’re not used to the colder and darker conditions.
