How to care for your houseplants this winter

Kenny Nguyen, founder of Houston Plant Market, shares winter plant care tips to remember during these colder months. He suggests giving houseplants two to three hours of direct light through a window each day and watering it when the pot feels light. If you have older windows where more cold air comes through, you may need to keep your plant further back from the window. Otherwise, the plant can be right by the window without the cold bothering it too much. Another watering hack he recommends involves a scale. He says you can weigh your houseplants when they are totally dry, then weigh them anytime to help you determine how much water is left in the soil.
