Spring is here and it’s time to revive your winter-weary plants. After a long winter with little sunlight, there is a risk that your plants at home will turn yellow, leafless and sad.
Here is the tulip that is the hardest to keep alive
This is how you bring your winter-weary houseplants to life
News24 has previously written about how to revive your palette leaves after a long winter. According to the plant expert Hans Jensen should, among other things, place them in a south-facing position and cut the plants properly.
– Pallet leaves can grow strongly and become very tall, but weak. Therefore, it is a good idea to cut them back sharply after winter. You can cut them down so much that they only have a couple of leaves left on each branch, says Jensen to Nyheter24.
After you cut down your pallet leaves, they will grow back stronger and denser.
Even the monstera plant can suffer some damage after the winter. They can, among other things, become tired and get yellow leaves. If you want to breathe new life into your monstera after winter, Jensen recommends replanting them in early spring, so that they get new healthy shoots.

Several plants appreciate being replanted in the spring. A transplant means that the plant gets a bigger pot and more space to grow in and access to healthy, nutrient-rich soil that gives it the opportunity to grow and gather strength.
But there is a mistake many make when replanting their houseplants, which also Country wrote about.

Then you should not water your houseplant
Namely, watering them immediately after transplanting. Watering your houseplant immediately after transplanting can cause the new soil to become wet, cold and like a muddy lump. The roots will wait to seek out and instead absorb the moisture to the old root ball.
What you can do instead is to water your plant thoroughly the day before replanting it. Then wait two days to water the plant after transplanting.
In this way, the moisture from the old root ball will find its way into the new soil layer and the roots will follow in search of nutrition, writes Land.
