As the outdoor temperatures drop and we retreat from our backyards indoors, it's important to give your houseplants a bit of care to help them through cold and dark days. Neglecting to do so can leave your houseplants exposed to too-cold room temperatures that hinder their health long-term.
If there's only one thing you do to care for houseplants in winter, put precautions in place to protect them from cold damage. It's no surprise that many houseplants can't cope with a lack of warmth, especially because so many popular indoor plants are native to tropical climes. Luckily, keeping houseplants warm is easy to achieve and very low-maintenance.
