A lot of different literature tells us about plants, but practically the same thing: fertilizer, air humidity, water, light, heat. Although no one anywhere mentions almost no less important period accompanying the life of plants. This is a period of deep rest. It is connected with the fact that daylight hours are shortened so much that there is not enough light for active growth. Like trees, plants also have this period. Throughout the year, for most plants, it occurs in the winter.

Some indoor plants expressively show this period, which can be noticed even without being a specialist. It can be determined by the following signs: the ground parts of the bulb die off (cyclamen, hyacinth, gloxinia), in tree-like, deciduous leaves (pomegranate, poinsettia) fall off. In such cases, care needs to be changed: watering is reduced or stopped altogether, depending on the type of plant.
