As a proud houseplant parent and journalist who writes about plants for a living, there's one thing I always tell people: winter is the most important time of year for houseplant care. It's when your indoor plants are at their most vulnerable, with dropping room temperatures being one of the main causes of foliage drooping and roots rotting. But, I have one easy hack to stop this problem: a seedling heat mat.
Getting my seedling heat mat out is at the top of my winter houseplant care regime, as it helps to control the growing environment of my plants when the room temperature suddenly drops. What's even better, I've just spotted Walmart are offering two seedling heat mats for just $17 – a bargain that will allow you to keep lots of houseplants warm this winter.
