And, of course, keeping your plants strong and healthy will make them more adaptable. Most indoor plants can tolerate lower average temperatures in the winter. During the winter season when we have much shorter days, most plants are going through a rest period. New growth tends to need warmer temperatures. A few plants even require a cooler winter and that can be difficult since most homes are heated evenly for the season.
Sudden changes are much harder on plants than gradual changes.
When moving plants during the winter, it is essential that they be properly wrapped and protected. Sudden exposure to low temperatures often causes leaf drop and drooping. Make sure this warmth is maintained during the night too. Higher humidity is needed when propagating plants at warmer temperatures. Some plants react to cold temperatures by developing dark, almost black leaves that curl.
