Get festive with these houseplant “holidadecoration” ideas
Give your indoor jungle a jolly makeover this Christmas

As you decorate for the holidays, don't forget your plants! Incorporating your houseplants into your holiday celebrations and decor is a great way to brighten up your home. Christmas may be one of the most common holidays for decorations, so don't forget that plants can be useful for other holiday festivities as well. No matter what you're celebrating this winter season, this guide has something for everyone! For tips on how to make your plants festive for the holiday season, follow this simple guide to houseplant holiday decorations.

Add ornaments and lights to your houseplants
Here’s a simple holiday plant idea: Furnish your houseplants with ornaments, tinsel, and string lights. If you’re doing this in lieu of a Christmas tree, it’ll very likely be much cheaper than furnishing a 6-foot-tall tree, as you can buy most of the mini decorations at your local dollar store! Money trees, corn plants, and rubber trees are just a few houseplants with strong central stems that can handle minor weight from lights and ornaments. If you want to avoid placing anything onto your plants, create holiday stakes with cut-out Santas, snowflakes, ornaments, and more.

Here's how to protect your plants from the cold this winter

You spent all spring and summer tending to your garden. Now the weather is turning colder and the first heavy frosts are here. You'll need to protect some of your plants from the cold, but your garden may have some frost-resistant plants that will be just fine on their own. If you don't already have them, you can add these frost-resistant plants to your porch or patio in pots to keep your garden colorful even through winter. Not sure which plants to choose? This guide to frost-resistant plants will help you pick.

Which plants can survive a frost?
Evergreens are known for their ability to survive winter, but they aren’t the only cold-tolerant, frost-resistant plants out there! Leafy vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, kale, collards, and chard can tolerate some frost. Early spring blooming flowers like crocus, snowdrop, and primrose can all survive the winter, and pansies are especially resilient. Violas, hostas, heuchera, irises, lily of the valley, cyclamen, and phlox also tolerate frost and provide some visual interest, as do catmint, baptista, sedum, and peonies.
