How to raise butterfly flower in winter

Temperature for winter cultivation of moth butterfly flower

The moth and butterfly flower is still very cold-resistant and can generally withstand temperatures as low as minus three degrees Celsius, but you still need to take good insulation measures when caring for it in winter. It can be moved indoors for cultivation. The room temperature should not be too low. It is best to keep it above 0℃, especially at night. The temperature must be well controlled. If it is too low, it will easily lead to slow plant growth and late blooming. The most suitable temperature during the day is 18-20℃. If the temperature is below -3℃ for a long time, it will cause frost damage.

Lighting for winter cultivation of butterfly flowers

The moth and butterfly flower likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. Although it needs to be kept indoors in winter, it needs more light supply to ensure normal growth activities in such a cool environment. If there is no light or the light is weak, many problems will arise.

Moth butterfly flower winter water

After entering winter, water evaporates slowly and the water supply should be reduced appropriately. Moreover, the moth flower has a certain degree of drought resistance, so it doesn’t matter if the soil is a little dry. Of course, it cannot be too dry. The main thing is to avoid long-term moisture in the soil, and don’t let water accumulate, otherwise the roots are very likely to rot. In addition, it is best not to use tap water to water the flowers directly, as the large temperature difference may damage their roots.

Fertilizer for winter cultivation of moth and butterfly flower

After autumn, the moth and butterfly flower enters a dormant period, so it is necessary to reduce or stop fertilizing. Because the root system of the moth and butterfly flower grows very slowly at this time, even if fertilizer is applied, much of it cannot be absorbed by it, and may even affect the normal absorption of the moth and butterfly flower. In severe cases, it will cause root rot.

The most important thing in the cultivation of moth and butterfly flowers in winter is temperature management. Of course, other aspects also need attention. I hope everyone’s moth and butterfly flowers can survive the winter safely.
