How does the peacock plant survive the winter?

1. Suitable temperature

In winter, the first task is to ensure the temperature is suitable, otherwise the plants will be frozen, and the leaves will become dull or fall off at best, or die at worst, and will not continue to sprout in the spring. Specifically, the most suitable range is between eighteen and twenty-five degrees. However, if this requirement cannot be met in winter, it is best not to drop below 15 degrees. This will ensure that the plants are healthy and grow well next year.

2. Adequate light

In winter the need for light is particularly high. Good light can help the plants survive the winter. If it is indoors, be sure to choose a well-lit location for it and try to let it receive as much light as possible.

3. Suspend the application of fertilizers

Because the growth rate in winter is very slow, or even not at all. Therefore, even if fertilizer is applied, it may not be absorbed and may cause harm instead. Therefore, you can stop applying fertilizer during the winter.

4. Wash the leaves frequently with clean water

The demand for water during this period is not particularly high, so the amount of watering should not be too much. However, in order to keep the leaves shiny, you can wash them with clean water once a month.
