Ease your houseplants into winter by giving them a seasonal reset and moving them away from radiatorsThe problem As soon as the heating is switched on, houseplants start to struggle. Warm, dry air strips moisture from leaves, dries soil faster, and turns cosy corners into arid microclimates.

Water lightly, then let them rest in bright, indirect light to adju...
