Care Tips to keep Tropical Plants Alive Indoors for Winter
In this video, I share a couple of Care Tips to keep Tropical Plants Alive in Winter. I start with sharing how sensitive Phalaenopsis Orchids are to Light and Temperature. Phalaenopsis Orchids comes from a Tropical Climate so Growing Indoors, on a Windowsill and NOT in a GreenHouse is hard to accomplish if you don't know the simple Care Tips I give in this video. We want to avoid Bud Blast in your Indoor Orchids when we have a Cold Front. Instead of buying Fertilizer for your Tropical Plants; get a Thermometer and Humidity Gauge with Temperature Humidity Monitor. I will leave a link below.
You don't want your Indoor Temperatures to drop below 57 degrees nor your Humidity is no lower than 35%. I grow a lot of Indoor Plants by Water Culture; so that provides extra humidity. Keep in mind, the temperatures on the windowsill and the floor will be colder than the rest of your home. I give Care Tips to insulate your Home and Windowsill from Cold Drafts. Make sure to not leave the window or door open too long while it's Cold. The Temperature of the Water in my Orchids Growing in Water is Cold but they are used to it. 
I show different Phalaenopsis and Tropical Plants Signs and Symptoms of Cold Damage and how it plays a part in leading to Death from Cold related symptoms. To make it make sense; bringing home new fish from a pet store you have to let the new fish acclimate to your aquarium before adding the fish. The same can be said about Tropical Plants; sudden Cold Drafts or Fronts will cause stress on your new plants that isn't as strong. When the air is dry, keep your ceiling fan on low. These are Indoor Care Tips that will keep your Orchid Plants in Bloom. When it's really cold outside and you see condensation on your windows; keep in mind to pull your orchids back from the windows and doors. alocasia
