How to care for potted fragrant vine in winter

Is potted fragrant vine afraid of frost?

Generally speaking, the fragrant vine is heat-resistant but afraid of cold. It cannot overwinter outdoors in the north where the temperature is lower. It can be maintained in a greenhouse above 12℃ and on an indoor south-facing balcony.

Winter maintenance methods for potted fragrant vine

In order for the potted fragrant vine to survive the winter safely, the ambient temperature must be kept at least above 10°C. At this time, the plant grows slowly, so you can reduce watering and stop fertilizing. Specifically, we need to start from the following aspects:

1. Watering

When watering potted fragrant vines in winter, the principle of not watering is that the soil is not dry. Water it only when the soil is dry. Each time you water, water it thoroughly. Do not water only half of the soil, and do not water only the surface of the soil.

2. Soil

Potted fragrant vine has strong adaptability to soil, and it is best to use sandy soil. This kind of soil has good drainage and is rich in humus, which can provide the nutrients needed for the growth of fragrant vine and is conducive to its growth.

3. Sunbathing

The fragrant vine likes to grow in a warm, humid and sunny environment. There should be enough light to ensure its normal growth. In winter, it can be exposed to full sunlight, but it can also be placed in a cool place for maintenance.

Precautions for winter cultivation of potted fragrant vine

1. In order for the fragrant vine to safely survive the winter, the temperature needs to be controlled. In the northern region, most indoor places have heating, so it should be placed in a warm and ventilated place indoors.

2. Potted fragrant vine needs to be given sufficient light in winter. Insufficient light will reduce flowering. Moreover, fragrant vine has strong resistance and is less susceptible to diseases, but you should also take preventive measures.

3. When growing potted fragrant vines in winter, if there is insufficient light, the number of flowers will be small and the colors will not be very bright, so it is best to keep it in a place with half sun or full sun.
