Have you ever walked into the office of a successful entrepreneur and been greeted by a ficus tree? Or into the bright home of a creative director with a zamioculcas on the windowsill? It's not a fad. According to the principles of feng shui and thousands of years of folk wisdom, plants have a very concrete role: they regulate the flow of energy, balance the space and - attract abundance.
A windowsill seems like the perfect place for houseplants – lots of natural light, a nice height, a view of the world… But if plants could talk, they would definitely tell you in the winter: “Please don’t put me there again!” During the colder months, window sills often become a dangerous place for many popular types of houseplants. The reason? The combination of cold air from outside and dry, warm air from radiators below creates extreme microclimate conditions that are not at all pleasant for plants.
When the sun loses its summer momentum, plants start to wonder the same thing we do when winter comes: "Where should I go?" The outside temperatures fluctuate, the days get shorter, and while it may still seem like you can sit on the patio with a coffee in hand, things aren't so pleasant for your green roommates anymore.

No, the sun isn't always your plants' friend—sometimes it's more like that acquaintance who stays around too long. If you want your houseplants to look like something straight out of an Instagram story (and not a desert documentary) this summer, follow these tried-and-true tips for watering your plants.
Are you one of those who kills a cactus? Do you have flower pots as a reminder of good intentions that ended with wilted leaves? Have you tried everything, but something always wilts, turns yellow, or simply disappears? Enough guilt. It's time to get to know the plants that survive almost anything.
Have you ever looked proudly at your garden in the morning, only to freeze for a second at the sight of tiny green invaders grazing on your plants like an all-you-can-eat buffet? Aphids and whiteflies aren’t just an aesthetic problem – they’re a serious threat to your vegetables, herbs and even ornamentals.

What to do when potted plants suddenly start to wilt? How to save them before they completely die?
Flowering cacti?! Cacti are not only tough desert plants, but with the right care they can also show their delicate, flowering side - but only if you give them sun, drought, and a little winter zen.
