Since we can’t easily fuss with our outside plants, this is a great time to look at our indoor plants.

Step 1: If the plant looks scrawnly and lousy, maybe it’s time to toss it out and start over. We hesitate to throw away a plant we have nurtured over the years but some of them may not be an asset to the home anymore.

Step 2: Stop fertilizing the indoor plants for the winter time. All plants need a time to rest and this is it. Give them 3-4 months off and resume feeding the plants in early spring.

Step 3: If a plant has grown too large for it’s container, repot it into the next larger pot size. Replenish with lots of fresh soil-less mix. Follow these easy steps and your indoor plants should look great.
