Winter has arrived with all its icy cold winds and freezing nights.
Although pansies, calendulas and fairy primrose are now thriving in the
cold, it is worth taking a look at your indoor living spaces and
revitalising your indoor plants.

Start by cleaning the leaves of your indoor plants and checking their
water requirements. In the course of a year, indoor plants collect dust
which can block the leaf pores. Make sure that the dust is removed from
the top and bottom of the leaves. For small indoor plants, put them in a
bath or shower and give them a gentle spray of lukewarm water. For larger
plants, a warm wet cloth will do the job.
.
Most people are unaware that overwatering is the main reason why indoor
plants fail. Keeping a plant saturated with water is tantamount to killing
it with kindness. So, how often should you water your indoor plants? The
generally accepted advice is that a plant should be allowed to become
moderately dry between waterings.
.
Water your indoor plants thoroughly every 10 days rather than give them a
little water every few days. A little water only penetrates the top few
centimetres of soil and will rarely get down to the roots. A good watering
will reach all the roots and benefit the plant in the long term. In
winter, reduce the watering schedule of indoor foliage plants as they go
into a semi-dormancy in midwinter, but never let them become bone dry. The
best time to water plants is in the morning when they still have the
daylight hours to use the water. How to water is as important as when. The
first rule is never use cold water especially in cold weather. Use tepid
or lukewarm water. Your plants will absorb it more easily, and it will not
send them into a state of shock.
