Taking care of indoor plants during winter requires special attention, especially when it comes to watering and feeding them. If your plants start to look dull, it could mean they need more nutrition, and action should be taken promptly.
During winter, indoor plants often lack sufficient light, which can affect their health. Using sweetened water can help address this issue effectively. Plants such as palms, dracaenas, roses, ficuses, and succulents benefit from sweet water. It’s recommended to water them with a sugar solution once a month to boost their vitality. However, it’s important not to pour sugar directly into the pots as it can cause mold and attract pests.
Besides watering, you can also spray the plants with the same sugar solution.
Here’s how to prepare it: dissolve 30 grams of sugar in one liter of warm water.
It’s crucial to follow the proportions carefully to avoid harming the plants. Incorrect ratios might lead to mold in the pots or overly vigorous growth, similar to what happens in summer.
Keep in mind that some plant species that normally bloom in summer need a dormant period in winter. Therefore, only feed those plants during winter that are supposed to bloom in this season.
