Plants in winter - These are stored in the dark
» Angel's Trumpet: It loses its leaves in autumn and therefore does not need light. There is also no fertilization in winter and only water enough to keep the soil slightly moist.
» Laurel: It is an evergreen plant, but does not need to be in the light in winter. If it is stored below 10 degrees, you can put it in the dark because then it will be dormant.
» African lily: It can be stored either light or dark. If you overwinter it in the dark, it will shed its leaves and sprout again next year.
» Palm: It likes the sun, but hardly needs any light in winter when temperatures are cool. So the palm can hibernate cool and dark.
