With the onset of cold weather, all plants require increased attention from humans.

To ensure that indoor flowers continue to delight you with their bloom and greenery, it is important to properly prepare them for winter.

Let's figure out which steps are mandatory.

What to do with indoor plants in autumn

Let's start with the fact that it is necessary to change the watering regime. In winter, indoor plants do not need the same amount of moisture as in summer, so the water in the pots should not stagnate under any circumstances.

The same applies to feeding. Plants do not grow, therefore, they do not need additional nutrition.

Secondly, it is necessary to change the location of the flower pots. Since there is less light, the plants must receive it in sufficient quantities.

A window facing the sunny side is best for this.

It is also important to remember that dust often accumulates on plant leaves, which can clog the pores of flowers. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to clean regularly.
