Gardeners Discover New Ways to Preserve Plants Through Winter Indoors
A recent online video from 'Gardening with Ish 🇬🇧' has offered timely advice for gardeners looking to protect their outdoor plants from the impending winter frost. The video, uploaded on November 2, 2025, highlights several popular garden varieties that can be successfully transitioned indoors to thrive as houseplants throughout the colder months. The gardening expert demonstrates how plants such as Begonias, Geraniums, Fatsia Japonica, Ferns, and Cordylines, typically found outdoors, can adapt to an indoor environment. He emphasizes the importance of indirect sunlight and careful watering to prevent common issues like fungal gnats. "Never overwater them, because that's how you get fungus gnats," the gardener advises, stressing the need to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. He also notes that some varieties, like Begonias, can even be replanted outdoors in spring, effectively extending their lifespan. This practical guide offers valuable insights for enthusiasts seeking to maintain their green spaces year-round.
