Winter was a tough time for our plants, especially in Europe. Cold and dreary winters can be testing for us and our plants. Whereas outdoor plants and trees have a natural cycle to help them through the winter, indoor plants must be cared for with greater attention.
Having said that, as a plant lover, winter is the most important time of the year. Preparing plants during this time and before spring will set them up for their glory days in the rest of spring and summer. Many people wonder what to plant in March. By planting in March you give your plants the best opportunity to flourish in their first spring.
