How to make a winter garden? Check out 5 species to create yours!

Winter gardens have become a real trend, but their origins are quite old. The idea was imported from Europe, where the practice of bringing gardens indoors was necessary to protect and ensure the lifespan of species on cold days (which tend to be quite intense in these regions). As a result, winter gardens are able to convey a welcoming atmosphere through the presence of nature even closer to the resident, and can be positioned in any room, as long as it has adequate lighting: in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedrooms and even in the bathroom . Below, we have selected 5 species that are easy to grow and that guarantee a beautiful look for those who don't want to wait for summer to enjoy nature indoors. Check it out!

Maranta

Adapting well to partial shade, this plant has a robust appearance that can be incorporated into projects with a lot of personality. Watering can be done alternately, every other day, and with little water so as not to soak the soil.

Sword of Saint George

Known as a lucky plant , the peace lily can be the key to ensuring more delicacy in your winter garden. The ideal is to water it every other day and keep the plant in a place without direct sunlight.

Fern

One of the most common species in winter gardens, the fern is a wild card that adapts to many different styles of decoration . Here, care with the wind must also be taken into account, since ferns tend to have sensitive leaves that can fall off in the gusts of air. You can choose to place it in more isolated places, but that still have some natural light .

Boa constrictor

Widely used to decorate shelves and panels in the living room , it is best to place the snake plant in a place near the window . It should be watered twice a week during hot days and once during cold days, but it is best to always check the soil and see if it is moist . The finger test (putting your finger about 3 cm into the soil to check the moisture) can work very well to ensure that the plant grows healthy and beautiful.
