How can I keep my houseplants happy when it’s cold outside?

Plants need sunshine to survive, but it’s been so cold and not sunny! What do I do to make my plants happy during winter?

Answer #1

A few things will work:

  1. Put then near a window so that they get some light
  2. Normal incandescent lights will work too
  3. Be sure that they get enough soil replacement, appropriate plant food, and water

I’ve seen many cases where plants do quit well inside in winter climates. Also, remember winter does not last forever and plants will bounce back in the spring.
