Tips To Help Your Container Plants Thrive In Winter

● Water plants regularly—but lightly—to keep the soil hydrated in the dry winter months. Keep your watering schedule tuned to your plant’s needs rather than a strict regimen.

● Choose container size wisely. Larger container gardens allow more light to penetrate to the soil and plants, whereas small containers can create an environment that restricts light and warmth.

● Winter is both cold and dry, and plants need warmth. One way to do that is to group plants with similar care needs together for extra humidity and warmth.

● Add a layer of mulch to your container gardens to help keep the plants protected from extreme temperatures and retain soil moisture.

● Bring plants indoors for the winter months to help keep them healthy and protected, and give them additional warmth and light with grow lamps.

● Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean the plants don’t need occasional spritzing and leaf cleaning. This allows the leaves to absorb maximum sunlight throughout the day.
