   When the heat comes on, the spider mites come out. Check the fronts and backs of your leaves for webbing and signs of damage. If you notice spider mites, rinse your leaves and tray with neem oil!

   My biggest winter problems were low lighting and low humidity. Humidity levels are low with heaters drying out the air. A humidifier fixes the low humidity problem. South facing windows with no outside obstructions are bright for most of my plants in summer. But, are perfect for winter. Unfortunately, I have more plants than southern windows. So, I recently added more and higher quality grow lights to cover all 160+ plants that will live inside this winter. This will reduce the amount of dropped leaves and dead vines I usually get by spring. Watering schedules often change. Reduce water and fertilizer when growth slows in colder months. Over watering and root rot are common in winter. Always verify the plants need water before watering. 🍀🪴

     Good stuff! I decided to just let my west-facing babies take the L this year. I don’t wanna move plants around no more!

   Definitely humidifier and almost daily misting. I also break out more lights. And it's usually when I re-up the predatory mites/nematodes

     I wish bugs were affordable where I live!

     I order mine online. But they definitely aren't cheap. Sometimes one of the local feed or hardware store has them.

   I’m new to “really” taking care of my plants. Is it ok to fertilize in winter if you’ve never fertilized?

     I think it’s okay to fertilize as long as your plant is putting out new growth. In the winter I usually really dilute to about 1/4 of what they usually get if I do fertilize

   I would also recommend be careful to watch your more sensitive plants’ leaves and make sure they aren’t touching any cold windows. My pilea immediately dropped a couple leaves that were touching a window after temps dropped one night

     I bought weatherization kits as an added layer of security!

   No need to stop fertilizing, if the plant is still growing there’s a reason to fertilise
