winter is coming - but the dark evenings are no match for these plants!
We may all groan that the clocks have gone back, marking summer as a distant memory as darkness seems to settle in out of nowhere at 3pm – sigh! But it’s not all bad news, think of the extra hour in bed you’ve gained this morning! Plus, winter is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a new houseplant for all those evenings spent getting cosy at home.
Low light and chilly temperatures are no match for these indoor plants – they’ll thrive no matter how dreary it gets outside. So, if you’re looking for the best houseplants for winter, here are our top picks:
The luscious leaves on the Dieffenbachia Camilla won’t be fazed by harsh winter light, so you can admire its variegated foliage in shades of cream, yellow, and green without a worry! This air-purifying plant is a great choice for winter, as it helps to improve indoor air quality, which is especially important when we have the central heating cranked up!
Unlike some plants that struggle in low light, the Dieffenbachia is hardy and adaptable, making it a fuss-free addition to your houseplant collection. Just keep it away from direct drafts and radiators, and it will keep your home looking fresh all winter long.
This tropical plant is still as popular now as it was almost 150 years ago – the Victorians loved it, and so do we! Known for its long stems and lush green, feathery foliage, the Parlour Palm is native to the rainforests of Southern Mexico, so it’s naturally adapted to low light and lower temperatures. In other words, it’s another plant that’ll breeze through the cold season.
It’s one of the best house plants for winter, as it thrives in shade and indirect light. If you’re looking for a plant that requires minimal maintenance, this pet-friendly indoor houseplant is the one for you!
Don’t let the name confuse you – this common house plant isn’t a true fern; it just gets its name from its wispy, delicate fronds. In fact, it’s actually a relative of lilies!
In the wild, the Asparagus Fern grows beneath trees, meaning it’s used to shade, making it the perfect addition to your winter houseplant collection. It’s also an excellent air-purifying plant, helping to keep your home feeling fresh and clean during the colder months.
