Winter care of houseplants
1.CHANGING WATERING HABITS 💦
Remember that in winter the soil dries much longer and houseplants consume less water because there is less sun, so we water houseplants less often. I recommend checking the soil before pouring to see if it has dried to the depth of the pot.
2. RELOCATING HOUSEPLANTS ☀️
In winter, the amount of sunlight decreases significantly, so I definitely recommend moving houseplants closer to the windows. However, we make sure that the cold does not come from the window sills.
3. WE USE PLANT LAMPS 💡
If you have houseplants with varigation or plants that need a lot of sunlight, I would definitely recommend considering the possibility of buying plant lamps. Plant lamps are available in many different types and the price range is also wide, so everyone can find and choose suitable plant lamps for themselves. The most popular indoor plants with variegation are Monstera Deliciosa Albo, Monstera Thai Constellation, Philodendron White Princess, Philodendron Pink Princess, Syngonium Albo, etc.
4. WE USE FERTILIZERS THAT WILL HELP PLANTS OVERCOME STRESS 🍽️
I recommend using REVIVE fertilizer especially in winter. I call this first aid for houseplants, because it is specifically intended if houseplants wither, drop leaves, turn yellow, the plant does not grow for a long time, after transplanting and in winter, so that the plant can overcome stress more easily.

5. WE TAKE CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS WITH VARIATION
Be sure not to forget that you should not stop using silica in winter. RHINO SKIN is an additive that will perfectly help houseplants with variegation to keep their white leaves longer, so that dried, brown spots do not form on the leaves (Monstera Deliciosa Variegata, Philodendron White Princess, Philodendron White Knight, Monstera Thai Constellation, etc.) You can buy RHINO SKIN on my website

6. SARGAM AUGUS NO CAURVĒJA 🌬️
If you ventilate rooms in winter, be sure to protect houseplants from open windows and doors. Because the cold wind can freeze the houseplant.
7. WE SPECIALIZE IN NETWORKS🕸️
During the winter, when the heating is turned on, dry air forms in the rooms, and web bugs like these conditions very much, so remember to check the undersides of the leaves from time to time for small dust-like insects and webs. For spider mites, I release predatory mites every month as a preventive measure. 1 packet for prevention on each windowsill or plant shelf. You can buy predatory mites on my website https://augi-plants.lv/products/plesejerces-pret-tiklerci
8. YOU MUST NOT TRANSPLANT SENSITIVE PLANTS
Plants can be safely transplanted even in winter. Do you remember if your plants are not growing, they have started dropping leaves, you suspect that you have watered them, the plant is falling over and the roots are coming out from the bottom of the pot, it is better to transplant them now instead of waiting for spring. Only by transplanting you can assess the condition of the roots and take the necessary actions to save the plant. For transplanting indoor plants, I recommend using well-drained and air-permeable soil. The soil I created is special in that it will not lose its function even for 3 years, if we compare it with the usual peat soil, which compacts already after a year.
