Winter is around the corner, which means shorter days and colder weather. I admit, I have been staring at my dreamy seascape photos of Stinson Beach, Calif., and Peru playas lately, craving the warmth, again. It also means my mood gets a bit drab from the lack of sunlight and grayer skies.
If you need a pick-me-up to add good energy to your abode, turn to nature for inspo and think GREEN! Trees, flowers, succulents — any living thing from the kingdom Plantae should work. But depending on the space, natural light and temperature of your home, you’ll have to adjust how you take care of the plants.

No matter what kind of plant you’re hoping to triage back to health, these suggestions will help turn your frown and dwindling plant health upside-down:

2. Research care for each plant. Like people, they are all unique and there isn’t one way to care for each species of plant or person. 🙂
3. Move it around. If your plant doesn’t appear to be happy, it might be near a vent or needing a sunnier place. Pay attention to its surroundings.
