How does Snowdrop survive the winter?

illumination

Snowdrops are afraid of extreme heat in the summer, so be careful to avoid direct sunlight. However, in the winter, it is important to maintain sufficient sunlight exposure. If the sunlight exposure is insufficient, the snowdrops are prone to malnutrition. During sunny noons in winter, you can place the snowdrop flower in a sunny place to receive sufficient sunlight. You can turn the flowerpot every once in a while to ensure that it can be evenly exposed to sunlight.

Moisture

In winter, due to the high temperature, the snowdrop flower is basically in a dormant state, but it still needs necessary water to maintain basic survival. Of course, compared to the hot summer, the demand for water in winter is greatly reduced, and the corresponding water consumption will also be smaller. At this time, watering is basically not required, but different watering frequencies can be selected according to weather conditions. For example, on sunny days, the watering cycle can be controlled to be shorter, while on rainy days, a longer watering cycle can be maintained, or no watering can be performed. But whether it is sunny or cloudy, try to schedule watering when the temperature is higher.

temperature

Although the snowdrop plant is relatively cold-resistant, it, like most other plants, cannot withstand the invasion of sub-zero temperatures. In fact, when the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the snowdrop plant will enter a dormant period and its growth will become slow. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to place it in a warm or sunny place indoors in winter, and keep the temperature around the plant between 15-25°C.

In short, in particularly cold winters, if you follow the above points to provide proper protection for the snowdrop plant, it can survive the winter smoothly. However, flower lovers need to be reminded that in order to ensure that the snowdrop flowers continue to bloom beautifully next year, they must do a good job of rejuvenation when spring comes.
