New Year, New You: Winter Plant Care Tips for Thriving Greenery

Winter is here, and while many of us across Canada and the U.S. are bracing for the colder, darker days ahead, let’s not forget our beloved green companions! As we focus on our own self-care to kickstart the year with a fresh mindset, it’s also time to give our houseplants the TLC they need to thrive during the winter months. It’s worth revisiting some practical tips to keep your plants happy, healthy, and looking their best all season long.

Protect Plants from Chilly Drafts
As you bundle up in cozy sweaters, remember that your plants feel those chilly drafts, too. Position your plants away from drafty windows and doors, but keep them close enough to their light source. If your home feels more like an ice palace, consider relocating your green pals to a warmer room. A slight adjustment in placement can make all the difference in their comfort this winter.

Pro Tip: If moving your plant isn’t an option, consider adding a protective layer, like bubble wrap, to windows to reduce cold airflow while still letting in sunlight.
