• Keep winter fertilization of most houseplants to a minimum as plant growth is now at its slowest. 
  
  
• House plants and holiday gift plants should not be placed on top of the television.  This location is too warm and in most cases too far from windows to provide adequate light. 
  
  
• Overwatering indoor plants encourages root rot.  Water when soil is dry to the touch. 
  
  
• Check all house plants closely for insect infestations.  Quarantine gift plants until you determine that they aren’t harboring any pests.
   
  
• Turn and prune house plants regularly to keep them shapely.  Pinch back new growth to promote bushy plants. 
  
  
• The low light levels of winter call for some adjustments in the placement of houseplants.  Bring house plants that normally thrive on the north side of the house to east windows, while allowing the plants from the east more sun on the south. 
  
  
• When extremely cold nights prevail, draw window shades or slip lengths of cardboard between plant and glass.  Move the tender plants away from the window panes on the coldest nights. 
  
  
• Mealy bugs on your house plants can be killed by touching them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. 
  
  
• Dust the plants; wipe dust from broad leaf plants at regular intervals using a cloth dampened with clear water.
