How to care for fruit-viewing plants in winter

Environmental requirements

illumination

To grow ornamental fruit plants, sufficient light is needed. Generally, they should be placed in a well-lit place where they can be exposed to sunlight. If you want to grow fruit-viewing plants indoors in winter, you need to maintain sufficient light and expose them to sunlight as much as possible to enhance their ornamental value.

ventilation

Environmental ventilation is very important for fruit-viewing plants. Keeping the air circulating can prevent the fruits from falling prematurely because they are too stuffy.

temperature

Determine what temperature is required to maintain fruit plants in winter based on the cold resistance of the plants. For fruit-viewing plants that are not cold-resistant, the maintenance temperature needs to be kept high, above 15℃ during the day and 10℃ at night, such as Buddha's hand. More cold-resistant fruit-viewing plants can withstand low temperatures and may not be greatly affected by temperatures of 0℃, such as wolfberry.

Water and fertilizer management

Watering

In winter, you must pay attention to water and cannot ignore it. If the plant has already borne fruit, the soil in the pot must be kept moist so that the fruit contains abundant moisture and looks fuller and more beautiful. If there is a lack of water, the fruit may lose water and shrivel.

Fertilization

In fact, if fruit has grown on the fruit-viewing plants in winter and can be used for viewing, it is best not to apply fertilizer to avoid fruit falling.
