How to care for potted Nandina domestica in winter

1. Temperature

Nandina domestica prefers semi-shaded and cool environments. The most suitable temperature for growth is around 20 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable temperature for flowering is 24 to 25 degrees Celsius. In winter, it should be kept indoors to prevent freezing, and the minimum temperature must be controlled not below 0 degrees Celsius.

2. Watering

Nandina domestica needs to be watered when the soil is dry and wet. In winter, it is in a state of slow growth and the soil in the pot cannot be too moist, otherwise its roots will rot. The best time to water it is at noon when the weather is sunny.

3. Fertilization

Nandina domestica does not have high requirements for fertilizer, but it is necessary to ensure that it is applied with dry fertilizer three times a year, in May, August and October respectively. The third time is after moving the Nandina domestica indoors. Cake fertilizer can be used, and the amount of fertilizer applied this winter should be more than before.

4. Humidity

Nandina domestica prefers a humid or semi-dry environment. The humidity requirement for its environment is between 50%-70%. When the humidity is lower than this standard, the leaves will turn yellow and become dull. This humidity requirement must be ensured in winter. Generally, you can spray water in the air around it to create such conditions. If it is in a particularly dry area in the north, you can also place a humidifier next to it to assist in moisturizing.

5. Lighting

Nandina domestica has a strong ability to adapt to light, so it needs to be moved indoors in winter. At this time, it must be placed in a place with sufficient light to promote its photosynthesis.

Well, this is all about the maintenance and management of potted Nandina domestica in winter. Is everyone clear about it?
