Should you move your houseplants away from the window in the winter? 4 key survival tips

Dani Turner, customer experience director at Bunches said: “As we transition into the winter, it is important to recognise how this can affect our house plants.

“The most important factors to consider are the changes in light, heat and moisture.”

Should you move your plants away from the windowsill?

Most plants don’t enjoy extreme temperatures, and the fluctuations on the way over the next few months will upset them.

Dani says: “Regulating the temperature of your plants is also extremely important in the winter months as cold draughts or fluctuations in the temperature of your home with central heating can cause instability in your plants’ environment.

“Moving your plants from window sills at night and keeping them away from heat sources, such as radiators, can give your plant a helping hand in surviving the winter months.”

So, it’s not only windows you need to watch out for, but also the hotspots caused by your central heating.
