Most plants with showy flowers and fruits need bright light, so keep them in a bright window or under a grow light.
Avoid drafts, heat ducts and locations where temperatures are likely to fluctuate greatly. If plants are very close to windows, remove them at night to prevent chilling. However, most plants do prefer cooler temperatures during the winter then at other times of the year.
Many people add traditional holiday plants to their home for the Christmas season. Below are some favorites:
- Poinsettia: showy bracts in white, red and other colors
