Houseplant Care: Winter Edition
Albert Camus said — in French, obviously — “in the depths of winter, […] I found within me an invincible summer.” This is how houseplants make me feel in the middle of January: a glimpse of green, and a glow of sunlight. I take in a deep breath and my plants fill me with a tremendous sense of well-being. Tropical plants are the invincible summer that give us joy as we hope for spring. Like Camus’ inner paradise, houseplants need special care to get them through our harsh winters. His was a metaphorical message of optimism in adversity, but houseplants are a little more practical than that! Follow our tips on Light, Watering, and Pests, and maintain your joy in the depths of winter.
