Embrace the Winter Wonderland with Your Green Companions
Winter can be tough on us all, and our beloved succulents are no exception. But fear not! With the right care, your succulents can not only survive but thrive during the winter season. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your indoor plants happy and healthy as the temperatures drop.
- Let There Be Light
Succulents love light, and winter’s shorter days can be a bit of a downer for them. Make sure to place your succulents near the brightest window in your home. If natural light is limited, consider using a grow light to ensure they get the light they need to stay vibrant and strong. After all, even succulents need their daily dose of "photosynthesizing Netflix."
- Water Wisely
Overwatering is a succulent's worst enemy, especially in winter. With cooler temperatures and less sunlight, succulents need less water. Make sure the soil is completely dry before watering again. A good rule of thumb is to water sparingly, maybe once every two to three weeks. Remember, succulents prefer their drinks as infrequently as a cactus goes to a pool party.
- Keep It Cozy, Not Toasty
Succulents are quite tolerant of cooler temperatures but avoid placing them near drafty windows or in rooms that drop below 10°C. A spot with a steady temperature is ideal. Remember, they like it cool but not freezing! They want to chill, not Netflix and chill with Jack Frost.
- Humidity Control
Winter often brings dry indoor air, which can be a bit too much for your succulents. While they don’t need tropical humidity, try to keep them away from radiators and heating vents. A small humidifier nearby can help maintain a more succulent-friendly environment. Think of it as giving your plants a mini spa day – without the cucumbers on their eyes.
- The Right Pot Matters
Using pots with good drainage is crucial, especially during winter. Our collection of beautiful, functional pots ensures that your succulents have the perfect home to stay dry and healthy. Browse our range of Planters here. Because let’s be honest, even plants deserve to look Instagram-ready.
- Give Them a Break
Winter is a period of rest for succulents. They don’t need fertilizing during this time, so save that for spring. Let them enjoy their downtime, and they’ll reward you with robust growth come warmer weather. It’s their version of a winter nap – minus the snoring.
