- Water Damage and Mold: Watering the plant can lead to water dripping down the sides and into the electrical components of the fridge, causing severe damage and creating a risk of mold.
- Plant Stress: The constant heat coming from the appliance can also stress the plant, causing it to “wilt prematurely.”
Better option: Place all household plants on a sturdy windowsill or shelf where they can get the appropriate light and be watered safely.
