Hardy houseplants for a green oasis in the living room
Hardy houseplants are the perfect choice to create a green oasis in the living room even in the cold season. These plants are particularly robust and can withstand low temperatures, so they remain healthy even in heated air. A popular hardy houseplant, for example, is aloe vera. It requires very little water and is very easy to care for. It also has air-purifying properties and moisturizes. Another option is succulents such as the jade tree or the echeverie. These plants store water in their leaves and therefore require little watering. The indoor palm tree, such as the Kentia palm or the mountain palm, are also hardy and give the living room a tropical atmosphere. A touch of colour is provided by flowering hardy houseplants such as the poinsettia or cyclamen. These plants bring bright flowers to the winter living room and create a pleasant atmosphere. With hardy houseplants, you can also create a green retreat in winter and at the same time benefit from the positive effects of the plants.

Tips for proper watering and care in winter: How to keep your plants healthy
In winter, proper watering and care of your plants is especially important to maintain their health. One of the most important tips is to reduce the amount of watering. Since most plants go dormant at this time of year, they need less water than they do in summer. It is advisable to regularly check the moisture content of the soil by pressing into the soil with your finger. When it's dry to the touch, it's time to water. Another important aspect is to avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Make sure that the excess water can drain well and it is best to use a trivet or pot with drainage holes. In addition to watering, proper care is also crucial. Keep your plants away from drafts and cold temperatures, as they can be sensitive to them. Make sure they get enough light by placing them near a window or using artificial lighting. Regularly remove dead leaves or flowers to promote plant growth and health. By following these simple watering and care tips, you can ensure that your plants remain healthy and green even in winter.
It is a real pleasure to beautify the home with green plants even in winter. Whether hardy houseplants, flowering beauties, low-maintenance plants or exotic plants - the selection is diverse and there is something for everyone. With the right watering and care tips, you can keep your plants healthy through the winter. But that's not all: you can also turn your conservatory into an eye-catcher with creative decoration ideas. How about, for example, a hanging hanging basket or a decorative plant wall? Let your creativity run wild and turn your conservatory into a place of relaxation and inspiration. But while we enjoy the green oasis in the living room, we should also think about how important plants are to our environment. They produce oxygen, filter the air and create a pleasant indoor climate. Perhaps we should ask ourselves more often how we can use our "green thumb" outside our own four walls to protect and preserve nature. In times of climate change and species extinction, plants are not only a beautiful decoration, but also a way to actively do something for our environment. So let's continue to share our love for nature and plants – not just in winter, but all year round
