Capra Designs was founded because, Bianca, the owner, couldn't find beautiful pots with drainage, so she started making her own. Without proper drainage plants are susceptible to root rot and fungal gnats, especially in winter. Every planter on Capra Designs website has drainage even if it's not obvious at first. Here's some other tips...
Adjust watering frequency
As winter brings colder temperatures and lower humidity levels, it's crucial to adapt your watering routine. Indoor plants typically require less water during this season. Check the moisture levels of the soil before watering and ensure the top layer is slightly dry. Remember, overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution.
Monitor temperature and humidity
Indoor plants thrive in specific temperature and humidity ranges. During winter, avoid placing your plants near drafts or heaters, as they can experience sudden temperature fluctuations.

Provide sufficient light
With shorter days and less sunlight during winter, it's essential to optimise the light conditions for your indoor plants. Place them near windows with maximum sunlight exposure or consider supplementing with artificial grow lights. Ensure your plants receive 8-12 hours of light each day to support healthy growth.
Maintain airflow and prevent pests
Winter conditions can create stagnant air, making your indoor plants more susceptible to pests such as spider mites and fungus gnats. Ensure proper air circulation by occasionally opening windows (if weather permits) and using fans to gently move the air. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of pests and take appropriate measures if an infestation occurs.
