Thank you so much for this video! My apartment is always cold in the Winter because they're never consistent with the heat so I had to enclose my plants in plastic covered greenhouses. So far they're doing great. I also added a humidifier, and I have a grow light with two bulbs that I can turn from side to side to give all my plants a chance to get some light, and a grow light lamp that I switch from shelf to shelf to do the same as my other grow lights. Hoping to get a better grow lighting system next year but for now they're good enough.

Hello
I have radiators under every window in my house, so it's really dry. I found out that putting damp cloth over them provides a little bit humidity, also protects the plants from heat.
Also I noticed that my plants are actively growing during winter (it's bright and warm in the house) and they are stagnant during summer, their cycle is completely messed up.

Great video Kevin! Humidifier is a great idea, i have started doing that recently and can see a little bit of improvement in overall plants. Since my plants are not very close to windows so how long the grow lights should be on each day? And at what height is should be from the plants? Also, please share the link to the growlight. TIA

Finally! It's Mid February and I'm debating about re-potting some of my plants that are cramp in their nursery pot. I know that in the spring I'm busy with school and social life( a social life that barely exists) so I wanted to repot as were heading to spring soon(like end of February/beginning of March. Thanks so much for the video.

Great tips! I like to take advantage of cold winter days when I long to be outside to go around and wipe clean all the plant leaves. I use a diluted mixture of neem oil, Castile soap, water and rosemary essential oil so it also helps with any pests who might be eyeballing my plants, and gives a nice light shine to the leaves.

I grow succulents, and some of them are summer dormant, so I have grow lights and a heating mat for them so that they flourish during the colder months. I actually also find having them, in particular, nearer a heating vent (but not where it gets a draught) because the soil doesn't stay wet as long when they are watered.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Was searching for a video like this with 100% information for plant lovers. Thank you also for getting down to business and treating us as if we were adults who need this information to help the plants we care about survive the winter in the best possible shape.

Great tips (: I actually find myself watering my plants twice as much during the winter because of the fact we have to run the heater. Our house is too old and it is too cold out here not to run it. Then I would just have dead plants because of the cold: p & your Satin Pothos is beautiful!

Actually, peperomia's are not dormant during winter. You can still reduce watering since less water loss during colder months in pots, so soil water retention is higher than summer (but that might not be the case if you have a furnace/air ventilation from heating your home.

I try to water only from the bottom. And I watch the plants form - I can tell when they begin to lose their ooomph. Foliage droops ever so slightly - sometimes even stems will begin to droop. Sit them in a sink of water for 15-20 minutes and they wake up!

I've seen people position mirrors in their garden outside, to cast more direct light, inside. I will be trying it next winter. Here in Australia, we're in the middle of summer. So access to light, is definitely NOT a problem at the moment. :)

I am super interested in the daylight bulbs. I know you suggested soltech, but is there a more affordable bulb you would suggest that i can just pop into a lamp i already have? Im looking at miracleLED on amazon. Is that worth it or a waste?

Thanks for the tips! :) I love those pots on the top of your shelf. Also, I literally bought a satin pothos a couple hours ago and seeing yours is getting me excited for mine to grow that long! I love the texture of the leaves!

Thank you for this video! I started collecting plants in the winter time, and a couple have died. I realized I was over watering and had reduced the humidity by having the heater on. Youve helped me saved my other plants! Thanks!
