How to Protect Plants in Winters

Winters bring cool weather, fog, and dry air – but for plants, this season can be a little tough.
Just like us, plants also feel cold. Some slow down their growth, and some even start drying or turning yellow.

Here’s how you can protect your plants and keep them green through the winter season.

1. Give Them Sunlight Every Day

Winter sunlight is soft but very important.

• Keep your pots where sunlight stays for at least 3–4 hours.
• If you have indoor plants, place them near a sunny window or balcony.
• Rotate the pots every few days so all sides get light.

2. Water Less, But Regularly

In winter, soil stays wet longer because of low temperature.

• Check soil before watering. Only water when the top layer feels dry.
• Avoid watering in the evening or night — always do it in the morning so excess water can dry during the day.

3. Keep Plants Warm

Some delicate plants get cold easily, especially in North India.

• Move pots close to walls or indoors at night.
• Cover small plants with a thin cloth or old bedsheet during very cold nights.
• Avoid placing pots directly on cold floors — use wooden stands or trays.

4. Feed the Soil

Winter slows plant growth, but a light dose of nutrition helps them stay strong.

• Mix Mr Green Miracle Organic Granules or compost in the soil once every 20–25 days. Buy Link
• Spray Mr Green Plant Diet weekly — it gives instant nutrients and keeps leaves fresh. Buy Link

5. Protect from Fungus and Insects

Winter fog and dew can cause fungus on leaves.

• Spray Mr Green Neem Drops Spray every 10 days to prevent fungus and bugs. Buy Link
• Remove yellow or infected leaves quickly so others don’t get affected.

6. Keep the Area Clean

Fallen leaves and stagnant water attract insects.

• Clean pots and surrounding areas weekly.
• Ensure proper air circulation between plants.

Quick Winter Care Tips

• Water in the morning only
• Give sunlight for 3–4 hours daily
• Use light fertilizer every 20 days
• Spray neem drops to prevent fungus
