Tropical Plants Winter Care
Tropical Plants Winter Care

Keep your tropical plants away from drafts, including heating and air-conditioning vents. Exposure to vents like this can cause them to develop yellow leaves prematurely. 

Because the days are shorter and temperatures are typically cooler, your overwintered tropicals won’t grow as much as they did outside. You won’t need to fertilize until spring, when the days get longer. 

Most overwintered tropical plants prefer the same temperatures we do: between 70 and 80ºF (21 and 27ºC) during the day and 55 and 65ºF (13 and 18ºC) at night.
