Never have open flames on or near a Christmas tree. Winter Care for Indoor Plants Old man winter is right around the corner, and that means more time inside to care for our plants. As we start preparing to out our holiday decorations, it s easy to push our plants into the corner and out of the way. One of the most important factors in caring for our plants is matching and maintaining the plant's needs to its indoor environment. Most indoor plants can handle some changes, but each plant has its own individual cultural requirements, and minor adjustments may need to be made during the winter.
All plants require some natural light.
Keep that in mind when moving plants around during the holidays. A sudden change of temperature from opening doors, windows, furnace ducts, wood stoves, etc can cause damage to the plant. This damage may not show up right away. Don't stay out longer than 20 minutes. Use a small shovel or one with an ergonomically bent handle.
