3. Check the water level in the tray regularly and refill as needed to maintain humidity.
4. Rotate plants every few weeks to ensure even light exposure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake is placing plants too close to windows where they might get too cold from drafts. Ensure there’s a buffer between the plant and the window. Another mistake is overwatering; with reduced growth in winter, plants need less water. Always check soil moisture before watering. Lastly, avoid placing plants near heating vents, as the dry, hot air can damage them.
Additional Tips for Winter Houseplant Care
In addition to the humidity tray and strategic placement, consider misting your plants occasionally to boost humidity. Grouping plants together can also create a microenvironment with higher humidity. Use grow lights if natural light is insufficient. Finally, reduce fertilization during winter, as most plants are in a dormant phase and don’t require as many nutrients.
