Caring for your indoor plants during winter
With winter fast approaching and the weather starting to cool, here are some simple tips for caring for your indoor plants this winter.
1. Watering Routine
Check your indoor plants regularly. You will notice that they will need less watering. However, when they do need watering take car of them by using tepid water. Like us in the middle of winter, plants don’t want cold water poured over them when it is cold! Water using room temperature water or just over to care for them.

If we dig deeper, we find that compost helps to save on water in a few different ways.
