Here’s a few of my winter tips for your indoor plant collections.
I don't have a lot of trouble with the lack of humidity here, it is usually about 60 percent in the house all the time…lol
Here's a few things you can try if you do need to increase humidity that's kinda neat :
* Use a small table top fountain on a pebble tray around your plants and create a little vignette or scene.
* Use a small aquarium with pebbles or decorative rocks in the bottom filled with a small amount of water and set the plants on top of the gravel. You can place several plants in a ten gallon aquarium and even a small figurine or 2 for decorations.
* If you only have one or two plants and need a cheaper idea…save the plastic cake domes you get from the bakery and put the plant in them. After you clean them up a bit they work wonderful and I even use them to isolate sick plants or raise plantlets in.
* Remember to warm that water just a little that's coming out of the faucet before you water those AV's.
* You can use the Mosquito granules sprinkled in the pot, on the mat or even in your watering can to help rid your plants of gnats. I use it on ALL new plants added to my house plant collection.
* Remember to move those AV's and other gesneriads in a few more inches away from those cold windows.
So what are your winter care tips and decorating ideas?
Enjoy,
