Q: Winter is approaching, and soon we will be putting on the central heating to keep our home cozy. Can this be harmful to houseplants? I invested in lots of new ones this year and they all seem to be growing well, so it would be a shame to accidentally damage them.
A: There are a few important points to bear in mind when caring for houseplants in winter. One of the most crucial is keeping the temperature around them as consistent as possible. Drafts – whether hot or cold – are never a good thing.
