House plants are an integral part of home decor. They improve the quality of air and environment of the house. Especially during winters, they can keep you comforted and welcoming. The plants have different needs during the winter season. Many of them have the tendency to hibernate or have arrested growth in cold weather.

During the winter season, these plants require less water and nutrition to thrive. The placement of indoor plants also needs to be shifted during winters. The amount of sunlight entering the space is limited and hence it is necessary to have winter plants that survive in less amount of light.

Here are seven of the best house plants for the winters:
