When the cold season starts again, many indoor plants, which are also in the summer in the garden had brown leaves. Especially the leaf tips are very brown and dry here.


However, this is primarily due to the heating air, because straight palm trees or dragon trees need a lot of humidity. This is less given in winter. Since the humidity should be at least 50 to 70 percent, you have to help yourself here something.

Increase the humidity

A measure here would be, for example, spraying the plants with boiled cold water, or setting up small water bowls or Zimmerbrunnen. Thus one increases the humidity for the plants and gets at the same time a better room climate. If you add a few drops of lavender oil in addition, you can also prevent a pest infestation at the same time.

Palm trees want to keep it warm

Especially palm trees should not be cool in the winter and you should bring them back inside as early as possible, because already the first nights with frost could harm the plants.
