Houseplants are a great addition to the interior space. But before bringing them home, a little research can help.

For instance, knowing whether they can survive through the cold weather, especially if you come from a colder region, can help you get your hands on the ideal indoor plant.

Watching the plant struggling to live is not something you will enjoy. No matter what, indoor plants will have to face the harsh cold of the winter season.

 So, to help you, here are the 5 best houseplants that can survive in cold conditions.

1. Chinese evergreen

Chinese evergreens (Aglaonema) are beautiful hardy plants that can tolerate 50°F temperature! Some Chinese evergreen varieties such as Emerald Star, Stars, and Jewel of India can also endure temperatures below this range without any damage.

To take care of your Chinese evergreen, provide it with bright filtered sunlight, water when 50% of the soil is dry, reduce watering in winters, and use well-drained soil that aids the draining process, especially in winter. Fertilize with a light fertilizer once every 4-6 months in the growing seasons and stop fertilizing in winters.

2. Fiddle leaf fig

Fiddle leaf fig is a popular indoor plant with big green leaves and is a favorite of many. It prefers temperatures ranging between 60-75°F but will remain unaffected during the chilly winters. Fiddle leaf fig will not have any injuries if the temperature remains within 50°F and will survive with the right care.

To have a healthy fiddle leaf fig plant:

• Provide bright indirect sunlight for 6-8 hours, water every week, and reduce the watering in winters.
• Fertilize every time you water it in the growing months but stop during winter.
• Maintain normal humidity and don’t let the temperature go below 50°F.

3. Orchids

Orchids are beautiful flowering plants that can add instant color to any indoor space. Orchids thrive in temperatures ranging between 50-80°F, but most remain safe at temperatures around 30°F.

As long as there is no frost, orchids do fine in the chilling cold weather. You can grow hardy orchids like Chinese Ground Orchids or White Egret orchids if your region receives too much cold.

Let your orchids have ample bright indirect sunlight, especially in the winters, water them once a week, reduce winter watering, and maintain humidity levels around 40-70% throughout the year. Fertilize once a week, but cut back frequency in winters.

4. Jade plant

Having dense leaves and woody stems, Jade plants are a great houseplant for cold climates as they can endure cold. They need temperatures ranging between 65-75°F. But, they do fine in the cold weather as long as the temperature doesn’t drop below 50°F.

To keep your Jade plant happy and healthy, provide 4 hours of sunlight, even more in winters to keep them warm. Water it every 2 weeks in summer and once a month in winter, fertilize 2-3 times per year, and Stop feeding during the winters.

5. Hoya

The Hoya plant, also called the Wax plant, can tolerate a wide range of conditions and is adaptable to light changes. It is a perfect indoor plant that can survive cold weather without trouble. It does well in temperatures 60-70°F but can endure up to 40-50°F.

You can take care of your Hoya by watering the plant once every 2-3 days, but keep it dry for 3 months in winter. Give it bright indirect sunlight, feed once a month in spring and summer, and avoid it during winter. And ensure the temperature doesn’t drop below 40°F.
