Houseplants to Brighten Winter Days

Flowering Euphorbia (crown of thorns) in a sunny window should be watered infrequently, like a succulent.

This time of year, the cheery green of houseplants can brighten the day immensely. We have a selection of plants and will continue to bring in new ones throughout winter. We're looking forward to new varieties of ferns and ivy in the next few weeks.

Stop by if you need something green and growing to cheer you up!

A Few Tips on Caring for Houseplants During Winter Months:

1. Be careful watering! During winter, houseplants grow little, so they don't need much water. We let our plants nearly dry out between waterings and let succulents dry out completely. Plants that like humidity around their leaves, including begonias and ferns, get misted daily.
2. Keep temperatures consistent. Fluctuating temperatures stress plants, so keep them away from heating units or frequently opened doors.
3. Rotate! If plants lean toward the window, rotate them so they straighten up.
