How to care for Hoya in winter

Is Hoya afraid of freezing?

The temperature suitable for the growth of Hoya is 18 to 28 degrees. It is afraid of freezing in winter. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, it will suffer frostbite and needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in time. Generally, we need to move Hoya indoors for maintenance after the temperature drops and keep the temperature above 5 degrees.

Winter care methods for Hoya

In winter, it must be moved to a warm and sunny indoor place. The indoor temperature needs to be above 5 degrees. It can be exposed to the sun every day and can get full sun. The growth rate of the ball orchid is very slow in winter, and the demand for water and fertilizer is very small. You can reduce watering, keep the potting soil in a dry state, reduce fertilization, and apply it once every 30-40 days. You can sprinkle water around the plant appropriately.

1. In winter, it is best to move the ball orchid to a warm room, get more sunlight, carry out photosynthesis, and replenish nutrients. The ambient temperature needs to be above 5 degrees. Reduce watering appropriately and stop fertilizing to avoid root rot due to water accumulation.

2. In the northern region, there is heating indoors, the air is dry and the water evaporates quickly, so the plant can grow normally without water control and can be maintained as usual. Water when it is time to water and fertilize when it is time to fertilize, but you need to spray water appropriately to maintain a certain humidity.

3. Prevent and control diseases and pests. If the plants are not ventilated in time in winter, they will suffer from diseases and pests. If spots are found on the stems and leaves, you can use 70% mancozeb wettable powder and use it according to the instructions. If insects are found, the easiest way is to rinse them with water.

Precautions for winter cultivation of Hoya

1. Pests and diseases: Pests and diseases may occur during the cultivation of Hoya, such as rot spot disease and leaf spot disease, which require timely spraying of pesticides for prevention and control, and proper ventilation is required.

2. In winter, the ball orchid can be exposed to the sun as much as possible, and should not be placed in a shady place.

3. In the northern region, because there is indoor heating and the air is dry, the moisture evaporates faster, and the temperature can basically reach 20 degrees. Under such conditions, it can grow normally in winter, so we can also maintain it normally.
