How does ginger lotus survive the winter?

1. Temperature

Ginger lotus is a tropical flower plant suitable for planting in a warm, ventilated and breathable environment. The most preferred growth temperature for ginger lily is between 20°C and 25°C. It can also grow normally in temperatures between 25°C and 32°C. Temperatures around 30°C are very helpful for the growth of the bulbs of ginger lily. When the temperature is less than 10℃ in winter, the ginger lotus needs to be moved indoors for cultivation. It can be placed outdoors around noon on a clear day to absorb sunlight and provide ventilation.

2. Pruning

When moving potted ginger lotus indoors for the winter, you should first remove its diseased and dead branches and cut off its yellow leaves to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. You should also trim the overgrown branches and leaves appropriately to reduce the space occupied by the interior.

3. Watering

The growth of ginger lotus will slow down in winter, so watering should be reduced at this time. Keep the soil in the pot relatively dry. When watering, just make sure the soil is slightly moist. Do not water too much, otherwise it will cause the rhizomes of the ginger lotus to rot.

4. Sunshine

Ginger lotus grown indoors must also be guaranteed to have sufficient sunlight every day, and should be placed on a balcony with sufficient light. When the weather is clear and the temperature outside is high, you can also move it outdoors to absorb light.

5. Ventilation

When growing ginger lotus indoors, ventilation should be carried out regularly. Windows should be opened for ventilation around noon when the weather is good, the sun is sufficient, and the temperature is relatively high. When ventilating, do not let the wind blow directly towards the ginger lily to prevent adverse reactions to the ginger lily plants.

6. Fertilization

Ginger lily must be fertilized for the last time before wintering, and fertilizing the ginger lily must be stopped after winter.

The above points are what you should pay attention to when caring for ginger lotus in winter. You must take good care of the ginger lotus. As long as it is properly cared for, the ginger lotus can safely survive the winter.
