@mel_dub1: I need you to understand this about watering in winter — especially if this is your first year with plants. Shorter days mean slower growth, which means your plants are drinking less. If you keep watering on a schedule, the soil stays wet longer and roots can rot fast. Always check before you water — a wooden skewer or chopstick pushed a few inches down will tell you the truth. If it comes out damp, wait. If it’s dry, water. Save this before your winter watering routine wipes out your roots. 💧🌱 #houseplanttips #planthacks #plantcare #winterplantcare #PlantTok

My plants need more water in water because the heater dries them out

Is this the same even if you have grow lights? I live in Minnesota, and the winters are cold and dry. I have a really great humidifier that does cool and warm mist. I also have a fan and a small heater(in a safe location to not harm plants) . This will be my first winter with a bulk of my plants. Should I still water less

GREAT INFORMATION. Thank you. I’m just getting into plants at my big age and I hate that it took me so long. I’m absolutely loving it.

Careful with heaters. I have plants I water more in winter. But then my soil is amended for Canadian Summers. so it becomes drier faster with our heaters on 😅. knowing our plants help though.

Should you rearrange your plants for better lighting in the winter?

I have a moisture thermometer. Stick it in the soil and the dial goes to moist or dry.

This is very helpful. This is my first winter and I’m trying not to over water but all my plants soil is so dry every week! I feel as though I may be over watering, but I’m sticking a chopstick down and it comes out dry every time.

Leave me alone okay. If it looks dead, I give it water. If it looks alive then it has enough water. 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 I killed too many plants by winter watering already. I have an orchid living off of a humidifier 🤣🤣🤣

I always stick my finger into the soil before watering. I have plants that require less weekly watering, even in hotter months
