Move plants closer to windows, but avoid placing foliage against cold glass panes. Artificial lighting may be helpful.<\/li>\n<li>Because growth slows or stops in winter months, most plants will require less water and little, if any, fertilizer.<\/li>\n<li>Extend the lives of holiday plants such as poinsettias and Christmas cactus by placing them in a cool, brightly lit area that is free from warm or cold drafts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>YARD (Lawns, woody ornamentals and fruits)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevent bark splitting of young and thin-barked trees, such as fruit and maple trees. Wrap trunks with tree wrap\u00a0or paint them with white latex (not oil-based) paint, particularly on the south- and southwest-facing sides.<\/li>\n<li>Provide winter protection for roses by mounding soil approximately 12 inches high to insulate the graft union after plants are dormant and temperatures are cold. Additional organic mulch such as straw compost or chopped leaves can be placed on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>GARDEN (Flowers, vegetables and small fruits)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To protect newly planted or tender perennials and bulbs, mulch with straw, chopped leaves or other organic material after plants become dormant.<\/li>\n<li>Store leftover garden chemicals where they will stay dry, unfrozen and out of the reach of children, pets and unsuspecting adults.<\/li>\n<li>Once the plants are completely dormant and temperatures are consistently below freezing, apply winter mulch to protect strawberries and other tender perennials. In most cases, two\u00a0to four\u00a0inches of organic material such as straw, pine needles, hay or bark chips will provide adequate protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=HO-90-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winter Garden Calendar<\/a>, The Education Store<br \/>\n<a title=\"Winter Storage of Geranium, Canna, Gladiolus, Caladium, and Begonia\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=HO-85-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winter Storage of Geranium, Canna, Gladiolus, Caladium, and Begonia<\/a>, The Education Store<br \/>\n<a title=\"Winterize your trees\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-484-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winterize Your Trees<\/a>, The Education Store<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Purdue Yard and Garden Calendar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/hla\/sites\/yardandgarden\/publication\/gardening-calendars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purdue Yard and Garden Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200bAs winter comes swiftly upon us, there are precautions we need to take to ensure our plants, both indoor and outdoor, are well taken care of.
