Do indoor plants still grow in winter?
Your home is dryer in the winter. Hot dry air from furnaces, space heaters, and fireplaces (which also means less humidity) are factors for the decrease in houseplant growth. Dryer conditions may also contribute to leaf drop. And, as everyone knows, light affects plant growth. When winter settles in and outdoor gardens take a well-earned rest, houseplants step into the spotlight. Short days, lower light, and dry indoor air can make plant care feel tricky—but the right houseplants don’t just survive winter, they thrive.
