Here's What You Need to Know About Your Houseplants Before Winter

Many houseplants hunker down for an extended period of rest, or dormancy, during the winter months. They'll stop flowering and growing new leaves. Some species will drop leaves (even all of their leaves like shamrock plants) and that's okay! You haven't killed it. It's getting ready to rest, just like trees and plenty of garden plants. Depending on the plant, dormancy can last for several weeks to a couple of months and you'll need to adjust you plant care routine accordingly.
