_Posted by Zack on 2025-11-11_

This is my first winter with indoor plants and I’m not sure if there’s anything I should/could be doing to help them during these snowy months. Any recommendations? For context, I live in zone 6a in a snow belt, but most of my plants face a south facing bay window. Thanks!

If you get significantly less light in winter, adding some grow lights can help. Also watch any plants near windows to see if they're getting too cold. Otherwise most indoor plants can continue with regular care. Some species would get a wet vs dry season in the wild, so for them you should reduce watering for winter and part of spring.

Also if you have tropical plants,you will need a humidifier
