With the arrival of winter everything changes and we must adapt our routines, even in the way in which we must take care of our plants. From Toldos Guardamar we want to share with you several tips so that your plants are cared for at all times during the winter season.
Before winter comes, it is important to make a final fertilization of the plants during the fall, especially in the indoor plants. In this case, the use of a quality product of long duration is recommended.
During the fall it is also recommended to reduce irrigation progressively. The reason is because the plants need to get acclimated to the cold. On the other hand, we must take care of the heating at home and not set it too high because it can negatively affect indoor plants.
It is very important to make the most of all the hours of natural light possible. Plants do not get along too well with artificial light. If it is not too cold or it does not rain a lot, you can always take it out to the terrace, patio or sill.
Not all places have the same climate, so if you live in a cold area, to take care of your plants it is recommended to cover them with special protective fabrics or plastic sheets. You have to be very careful with those species that are much more delicate. In this case, you will have to put them inside the house, but in a room where it is not too hot.
Finally, at the time the house is cleaned and the windows open to renew the air, with the plants you have to be very careful. Therefore, it is recommended to do it close to noon. At this time, the outside temperature is similar to that of the interior, which means that the plant does not suffer so much.
