How does Chlorophytum comosum survive the winter?

Wintering methods

Habits and wintering

Let's first understand its growth habits: it needs plenty of sunlight during its growth period, but it still needs to avoid the hot summer sun, otherwise it will be sunburned; the best survival temperature is between 20 and 24 degrees, and too high a temperature will cause its leaves to gradually turn yellow; proper airflow is also beneficial to its growth.

Required temperature

In winter, when the temperature drops to 5℃, plants will be frozen or even die. However, when keeping it indoors, be sure to keep it away from the air outlet of heating equipment.

Sunlight required

Even in winter, it needs proper sun exposure. If it cannot be in the sun all day, you can take a few hours every day to place it in a sunny place for a while, otherwise its leaves will slowly fade their original color.

Required water

Spring and autumn are its growing seasons. The soil should be kept at a certain degree of moisture, but at the end of autumn, the amount of watering should be gradually controlled to prepare for winter. In winter, the soil should be kept slightly dry, and water accumulation should be avoided.

Required nutrients

Also, after applying fertilizer at the end of autumn, no fertilizer is needed throughout the winter.

Other considerations

The south is relatively okay, but the main situation is in the north. The indoor environment in the north is hotter, but the air circulation is poor, so when placing it, try to choose a location with better air circulation.
