It is well known that winter has a different effect on our lives and activities, so what about the home garden as a result of the blowing winds and the falling rain that may extend for several days with the absence of the sun most of the day or its perpendicularity to one place rather than another, which harms the roots of plants and damages the soil and the plants may dry out and by the time spring comes you may lose the beauty of the garden instead of harvesting the blooming flowers and enjoying watching the ripe lawn, so how can you get out of winter without losing your garden?
Keep your plants warm for longer life.
You may be surprised to learn that you should move potted houseplants indoors or onto exterior doorsteps and windowsills, as many plants are sensitive to cold air. Therefore, make sure to move them to locations where they are not exposed to cold air shocks.
Cleanliness attracts more sunlight.
The deeper into winter, the less sunlight the plant gets, preventing it from fully benefiting from the limited light. Therefore, you must ensure that the leaves are clean and free of dust. Use a handheld sprayer or a wet towel to wipe away the accumulated dust and dirt, so that the plant can perform photosynthesis at its most efficient.
A lot in summer must be less in winter
As we mentioned, winter means less light, so irrigation must be much less than the amount the plant receives in the summer.
Because every living thing becomes more thirsty and needs water when the temperature increases, your living garden is just like it. With the limited sunlight in the winter, the plant needs less water. If you water it daily, you can do it every two days.
Chemical fertilization is stopped in winter and summer.
Plant growth is slower in winter, and new leaves and stems don't appear as often as in fall or spring. It's recommended to stop chemical fertilization and resume it in spring, while adding organic fertilizer is important, as it takes longer to decompose and is ideal for this time.

Weeds are an unwanted visitor.
The main reason weeds appear is overwatering your lawn, let alone a few days of continuous rain. You can remove them manually every week to maintain a healthy environment for plants, or purchase a product that prevents weeds before they start to appear and apply it to dry soil.
