How to care for kumquat in winter

Is kumquat afraid of cold?

The suitable temperature for kumquat's growth is about 22-29 degrees. It has good cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as 0°C in winter, so it is not particularly afraid of freezing in winter.

Kumquat has good cold resistance, but it will also freeze to death if the temperature is too low. Therefore, it is necessary to take warming measures in time in winter, that is, move the plant indoors for maintenance in time, and ensure that the room temperature is not very low, so that the plant will not freeze to death.

Kumquat winter care method

In order for kumquats to grow more vigorously in winter, in addition to taking effective warming measures, you also need to pay attention to watering. In winter, according to the indoor temperature, if it is relatively warm, the pot soil should be kept slightly moist; if the temperature is relatively low, the pot soil should not be too wet, just keep it slightly wet and slightly dry. In addition, we also need to start from the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to heat preservation

Kumquats should be kept warm in time after entering winter. They can be moved to a warm place indoors for maintenance, and care should be taken to control the indoor temperature so that it is not too low. The room temperature should not be lower than 5°C to avoid frostbite on the plants.

2. Control watering

   Kumquat does not require much water in winter, so you need to reduce watering appropriately. You can water it at noon when the sun is more abundant.

3. Sunbathing

Kumquats can be exposed to the sun in winter. Kumquats need sufficient light in winter because the sun is relatively mild. Generally, they need to receive sunlight throughout the day, which is beneficial for their flowering and fruiting.

Precautions for kumquat cultivation in winter

1. When growing kumquats in winter, you need to pay attention that the soil for planting kumquats must not be alkaline soil, because alkaline soil will be detrimental to plant growth and may also cause its death.

2. Kumquat likes high temperature, but the temperature in the north is very low in winter, so it needs to be kept warm indoors in the north during the winter, and watering needs to be reduced to avoid water accumulation and root rot.
