Nothing lifts the spirit like seeing life and greenery during the cold winter months. But it can be difficult to keep plants happy when daylight is limited and the temperatures drop. Fear not, for there are many resilient indoor plants that thrive on the simple care a windowsill garden can provide all winter long.
Today, we want to share some of our favorite tough as nails windowsill plant ideas to spread cheer throughout the colder season.
1. Pothos
One of the hardiest and lowest maintenance plants for windowsills is the ever-popular pothos plant. Pothos, also known as devil’s ivy, is very tolerant of low-light conditions meaning it will thrive on a winter windowsill. It is easily available at local garden centers and florists for flower delivery in Millbury MA. You will barely need to water it, about once every 2 weeks should suffice. Pothos comes in various variegated leaf color variations too like golden or marble queen which adds visual interest. Its vining nature looks lovely hanging or trailing over the sides of a planter.
2. Snake Plant
Snake plants are renowned for being extremely resilient and are easily available at many florists in Millbury. They can go a long time between waterings and actually remove toxins from the air. They will flourish with very minimal care requirements on a sunny windowsill during the winter. Snake plants come in various blade shapes and variegated color patterns too. They add an exotic tropical vibe without much maintenance from you. Their tall upright form takes up little space too which makes them perfect for windowsills.
3. Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreen is another low-light loving plant that will thrive on a dim winter windowsill. It is easily available at any local florist in Marlborough MA. It has attractive deep green leaves that are accented with cream or pink variegations. Chinese evergreen blooms small white flowers periodically too which is a nice surprise. It grows well in soil or water but a pebble tray helps maintain humidity around it. Water when the topsoil gets dry and it will reward you with its lush greenery through the colder months.
4. Peace Lily
If you want a plant that offers a visual indication when it needs watering, peace lily is a great option from flower shops in Webster MA. Its leaves will droop when thirsty so it takes the guesswork out of its care. Peace lilies thrive in low light and actually clean indoor air too by filtering out benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. They produce clusters of fragrant white flowers that resemble calla lilies. With its bold leaves and occasional blooms, peace lily will brighten your winter windowsill with minimal fuss from yourself.
5. ZZ Plant
ZZ plants have earned a reputation as being literally indestructible. They can tolerate very low-light conditions and go a long time between waterings too. ZZ plants have thick waxy leaves that come in various shades of green. Their neat leaf structure makes them quite architectural and interesting beyond just being foliage. Very low maintenance yet offers visual interest on your windowsill all winter with just an occasional drink.
6. Spider Plant
Spider plants are classic windowsill plants as they thrive in low light and spread cheerfulness with their trailing delicate green leaves and small white flowers borne on long thin stems in summer. As the flowers mature, small plantlets will form at their bases which can then be removed and grown as new spider plants. This makes spider plants excellent for multiplying your indoor plant collection without much effort. They are very forgiving of occasional dry spells too.
