How does Agapanthus survive the winter?

temperature

The origin of Agapanthus is South Africa. It prefers a warm climate and humid air. It cannot withstand severe cold. It likes sunshine but is afraid of direct sunlight. It needs to be cool in the summer, but the temperature requirement in the winter is 5-12℃, otherwise it will easily be frozen. In winter, Agapanthus is in a dormant state, but if the temperature in winter exceeds 25℃, the stems and leaves will grow too vigorously, affecting dormancy, which will affect the flowering of Agapanthus the following year.

soil:

This flower has relatively high requirements for soil and likes a lot of fertilizer. It is suitable for sandy loam rich in humus and with good drainage. For the agapanthus that hibernates in winter, the soil humidity cannot be too high, otherwise it will affect its normal growth.

illumination:

This flower likes sunlight. Although it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, it still needs to be exposed to the sun for a certain amount of time in winter, otherwise the agapanthus will wither and become malnourished. In winter, you can place the agapanthus near a sunny window and let it bask in the sun at different angles, but you must control the time well. After the exposure is evenly distributed, this sun basking activity can end!

humidity:

This flower likes a humid environment, and winter is no exception. The climate is relatively dry in winter, so you need to spray water on the ground around the agapanthus frequently to ensure that the air around it has a certain degree of humidity. In the north where the climate is particularly dry, you can buy a humidifier in winter. After all, growing flowers is like raising children, and you can't be careless at all!

Okay, I feel like I have said a lot. You should all know the precautions about this flower. If you pay attention to and do the above points, our agapanthus will be able to survive the winter well!
