How to care for lisianthus in winter

Is lisianthus afraid of cold?

The suitable growth temperature of lisianthus is 15 to 28 degrees. It is afraid of freezing and can only tolerate the low temperature of 0℃ for a short time. If the temperature is lower than 5℃ in winter, it will not bloom and its growth will be affected.

Therefore, lisianthus is not cold-resistant, but if the environment is above 5 degrees, it will not be harmed by frost. Therefore, it can be moved indoors for maintenance and ensure that it is exposed to the sun every day.

How to care for lisianthus in winter

Since the temperature is relatively low and the light is relatively weak in winter, the plant will grow very slowly if kept indoors. It needs to be placed on a sunny balcony.

Wait until the soil is dry before watering it again and trim off diseased branches and dead leaves.
