Gaultheria
Add a pop of vibrant color to your indoor space with the Gaultheria Winterberry, a stunning evergreen shrub known for its glossy green leaves and brilliant red berries. This hardy plant is an excellent choice for bringing winter charm into your home, making it a perfect addition to any seasonal decor. Whether placed in a decorative pot or incorporated into a cozy corner, the Winterberry offers year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some lower light conditions, the plant will thrive with more exposure to light.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during the warmer months. Reduce watering during winter when the plant's growth slows.
- Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 60–70°F (15–21°C). Avoid placing your Winterberry in drafty areas or near heat sources.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If the air in your home is dry, consider misting the plant or using a humidity tray.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring through fall). Avoid fertilizing in the winter months.
- Pruning: Prune lightly in spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged leaves.
Mature Indoor Height: Gaultheria Winterberry typically grows to a height of 12–18 inches indoors, making it a perfect size for tables, windowsills, or plant stands.
Note: The bright red berries are ornamental and can persist well into winter, adding a festive touch to your indoor garden.
