Indoors in Swan Hill
Indoor plants and Mallee houses
Our summers mean air conditioning and our winters mean heaters. Both dry the air, so placement matters.
LIGHT
Bright, not baking
Most indoor plants want bright light but not direct afternoon sun through west-facing glass.
AIR
Away from the vents
Keep plants at least a metre from split systems and heaters. Calatheas and ferns feel it first.
WATER
Less in winter
Plants grow slowly in the cool months. Check the mix with your finger and only water when the top few centimetres are dry.
