]]> As winter approaches, it’s essential to take proactive steps to protect your potted plants from the impending cold. Timing is key when it comes to moving your plants inside. Most tender plants start to suffer when the temperatures at night drop below 10 degrees and by the time the first frosts hit, it might already be too late.

Special Care

Potted plants, especially those that are not winter-hardy, require special attention during the colder months. Many container plants need to be moved into frost-free areas and may benefit from frost protection covers. Even minimal frost can lead to wilting, blackening, or the death of plants.

Many Mediterranean and tropical potted plants are perennial, but cannot tolerate cold winter temperatures, as they are accustomed to milder climates.

Frost-Free Location

One effective strategy is to overwinter your potted plants in a cool, but frost-free location, ideally maintaining temperatures between five and 10 degrees Celsius (41 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit). It’s best not to overwinter plants in warm living spaces, cautioning that temperatures exceeding ten degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause plants like fuchsias to become leggy, developing long, pale shoots. Whether choosing bright or dark locations, maintaining appropriate temperatures is crucial.

For those unable to bring plants indoors, wrapping pots can provide necessary insulation. Wrap terracotta pots in bubble polythene if they are too large to move or if indoor space is unavailable. Additionally, grouping pots together in a wind-protected area can help shield plants from harsh conditions. When grouping, placing smaller pots inside larger ones can offer extra protection.

Mulching and Monitoring

Mulching is another vital step in protecting potted plants during winter. Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant, approximately 5 centimeters (2 inches) thick, can help retain soil moisture and temperature. Leaves, straw, compost, bark, or conifer branches can serve as effective mulching materials. The covering layer should be between 15 to 30 cm in height to provide adequate insulation.

Monitoring soil moisture is crucial. Water potted plants about every two weeks during winter, as they require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground. However, overwatering should be avoided. Plants like money plants are susceptible to rotting if overwatered in winter. Instead, water them lightly when the soil feels dry. Indoor environments can become dry during colder months, so using a humidifier or placing a bowl of water near plants can help maintain necessary humidity levels.

Light exposure is another consideration. Evergreen plants need ample light even in winter but should be protected from direct sunlight. If indoor space is limited, some plants can benefit from humidifiers or water bowls nearby to maintain humidity. Regularly misting plants with water can also be helpful.

Pruning before overwintering can benefit plants by conserving energy. Before housing plants like fuchsias, a pruning is necessary. When pelargoniums and fuchsias awaken in winter with active sunlight, they should be pruned again, fed, and returned to fresh soil as the cold weather ends. Removing sick and weak shoots ensures that the plant doesn’t waste energy on them in the coming season. Stop fertilization from September and reduce watering from October to prepare plants for dormancy.

Regularly checking plants for pests and fungal infestations is important during the winter months. Plants still need care on cold days to get through the winter powerfully.

For those considering overwintering plants in a garage, it’s not advisable without further consideration. There are several aspects to consider, and alternatives like a wind-protected house wall or a winter garden might be better options for housing sensitive plants.

In regions where frosts are rare, simple measures might suffice. Moving pots to a wind-protected place and covering them with blankets or sheets can be adequate protection. Applying straw bales around the edges of grouped pots can offer additional insulation.

]]> Succulents are truly beautiful and mysterious. But truth must be told, succulents are not suitable for growing indoors. Certainly not for long. The vast majority of them anyway.

Originally succulents are desert creatures and therefore need direct sunlight to thrive. In addition, it is quite difficult not to water them and most of them wither from excess soil moisture. Most succulents do not survive the first year at home, but if they do, you are expected to have a stunning green tenant in your home.

So how can this beautiful plant be successfully grown at home?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXJcfPHNWO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

First of all, succulents are suitable for houses with a balcony or with windows that allow direct sunlight. Succulents need at least an hour or two of direct sunlight every day.

Succulents do not need a lot of water. Try not to water them even if the soil looks dry and even if you think the succulent is thirsty. Some succulents need watering only once a month. It may sound too little, but it really is the ideal amount of water for some of them.

Fertilization is a great way to protect your succulents. Choose an ecological fertilizer without chemicals, and pamper your succulents once a year with quality fertilizer.

This is by far the most popular office plant because it tolerates neglect, and low-light conditions, which makes it perfect for people who don’t have a green thumb.

Snake Plant

Snake plant, or mother-in-law’s tongue, is also one of the plants that are very easy to care for and they’ll definitely add charm and color to your office desk.

Peace Lily

This is a popular and wonderful plant with gorgeous white flowers that is very forgiving and easy to care for, which makes it a nice addition to any office.

African Violets

Another very popular indoor plant, African violets will brighten up your office with its vibrant and cheerful flowers.

Mini Phalaenopsis Orchid

Miniature Phalaenopsis orchids are perfect for people who love tropical plants and work in bright offices. This mini orchid is easy to care for, just avoid keeping your orchid in direct sunlight because its leaves will burn.

]]> Etsy is one of the internet’s best sources of home décor inspiration. Designers and sellers on the retro e-commerce store are usually among the first to put new trends on the map, and the plant pots they’re creating right now are truly top-notch.

Ladder Hanger

This is the perfect idea for people with a small apartment trying to maximize their space. An old ladder can be used to display hanging plants and the final result is truly amazing.

Classic Hanger

If the ladder hanger is too over the top for you, just stick to the old classics. Look for simple plant hangers that fit into any space, and if you want them to be stylish and current, how about making them with macramé rope?

Geode Planters

Geode planters are a huge hit on Etsy, and Tal & Bert is one of the studios putting them on the map. We’re yet to see if this trend will take off or stay exclusive like it is now.

Wooden Planters

Another Etsy seller putting unusual planters on the map is French design studio MinimumDesign. We’re head over heels with their wooden 3D planters and we can’t wait to see more of them in the future.

]]> Succulents are truly beautiful and mysterious. But truth must be told, succulents are not suitable for growing indoors. Certainly not for long. The vast majority of them anyway.

Originally succulents are desert creatures and therefore need direct sunlight to thrive. In addition, it is quite difficult not to water them and most of them wither from excess soil moisture. Most succulents do not survive the first year at home, but if they do, you are expected to have a stunning green tenant in your home.

So how can this beautiful plant be successfully grown at home?

First of all, succulents are suitable for houses with a balcony or with windows that allow direct sunlight. Succulents need at least an hour or two of direct sunlight every day.

Succulents do not need a lot of water. Try not to water them even if the soil looks dry and even if you think the succulent is thirsty. Some succulents need watering only once a month. It may sound too little, but it really is the ideal amount of water for some of them.

Fertilization is a great way to protect your succulents. Choose an ecological fertilizer without chemicals, and pamper your succulents once a year with quality fertilizer.
