Having a winter garden is like bringing a little piece of nature into your home, creating a cozy space full of life. But it's not always easy to choose the right plants, after all, each one has its own preferences. Some love direct sunlight, while others prefer shade, some ask for water every day, others like the soil to dry out before receiving more irrigation. So, to make it easier to compose, we've prepared a list of some plants for your winter garden, taking into account what each one needs and how they adapt together.

Plants that like humidity and indirect light


Fern, maranta, anthurium, lírio-da-paz and calathea are plants that love environments with moist soil and filtered or indirect light - and are great for shady corners. [gallery-abril id="185394" type="slider" showtitle="undefined" data-restrict="false"]

Sturdy, low-maintenance plants


Ideal for those who don't have much time for watering, these plants survive with little water and tolerate indirect or low-light environments. They are the zamioculca and the Saint George's sword.
