# I have my plants sitting on this “window sill”/ shelve thingy but…

_Postat av Hi\_Lu den 2025-10-19_

I have my plants sitting on this “window sill”/ shelve thingy but it’s right above the radiator. Haven’t turned the heat on yet but that weather is coming. Any recommendations on what I can sit my plants on top of to keep from drying out?

The increased heat in the area will dry out the soil faster. You may have to water more often. Add a humidifier near the plants to help prevent the leaves from drying out. 🪴🍀

I keep mine on a table of our heater too. You’ll definitely need to water them more often but they should be okay as long as their leaves aren’t too close to the vents. I typically run a humidifier around them for a couple hours during the day to help keep them from drying out too much!

Thanks for the advice!! Definitely going to invest in a humidifier soon
