Less daylight, cool temperatures: These houseplants survive the dark winter without any problems.
Lots of water, sun and the right temperature: Many plants require demanding care in order to grow and thrive. However, this is often difficult in winter, especially as the days are darker and colder. But some houseplant can do without a lot of light. A green winter is guaranteed with these seven varieties.
Kentia palm
The Kentia palm is one of the most popular indoor plants for a reason. It is robust, needs little water – and prefers a location with little sunlight and daylight. Watering once a week is sufficient, ideally with decalcified or rainwater. But be careful: the Kentia palm is sensitive to drafts.
Zamioculcas
The Zamioculcas is also known as the lucky feather because of its oval leaves that grow upwards. The plant originates from Tanzania and stores a lot of water in its stems. Your owners therefore only need to water them every few weeks. The Zamioculcas feels most comfortable in a partially shaded location and at 18 to 22 degrees.
Maidenhair fern
Because of its intense green, the maidenhair fern is a real eye-catcher. Since it prefers humidity, it looks great in the bathroom. 22 degrees Celsius and a partially shaded spot are ideal. Only use water with little lime for watering. Its soil should always be slightly damp, but never wet.
Green lily
The green lily is particularly easy to care for. It tolerates both high and low temperatures and gets along well in the sun and shade. If she is given a sip of water twice a week, she will survive the winter without any problems. The green lily also has an air-purifying effect and looks good in the bedroom, for example.
Bow hemp
Bow hemp, also called Sansevieria, doesn't just look good. It is also robust and grows in rooms with little light. Since the plant prefers slightly cooler temperatures, around 13 to 16 degrees, you only need to water it every four weeks.
Cobbler palm
The cobbler palm is ideal for a cold and dark winter. Drafts and dust don't bother her much. Since the plant comes from the forests of Japan and China, it prefers darker corners. The cobbler palm needs small amounts of water at larger intervals, ideally from a spray bottle, as its leaves evaporate a lot of water on the surface.
A leaf
Direct sunlight is harmful to the leaf. So if the plant is in a darker corner in winter, that's exactly right. A room temperature of 18 to 25 degrees is ideal for them. The soil of the houseplant should always be kept moist. Basically, however, watering sparingly applies in winter.
