Caring for Indoors Plants

With central heating, our homes dry out in winter so be certain your house plants aren’t suffering. Misting sometimes results in water spots on furniture. Instead of misting, use two sets of saucers for plants. Place one directly underneath the plant pot to capture any overflow from watering. That saucer, in turn, should be placed atop a larger one holding water (replenished weekly) to assure the air around the plant does not dry out. By adding water as needed you are creating an environment in which houseplants can survive our indoor heating – and so can your furniture.
