How to raise fire festival in winter

Fire Festival Winter Care: Sunlight

Fire Festival likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. The intensity of sunlight is weak in winter, so it needs strong sunlight maintenance.

In winter, there is less sunlight and the distance between leaves will lengthen, which is what we often call leggy growth. The leaves will also become emerald green and elongated. You can use fluorescent lamps to supplement the light to avoid leggy growth.

Fire Festival Winter Care: Temperature

In winter, move the fire festival indoors for maintenance, place it on a sunny balcony, and keep the soil dry. Normal indoor temperature is enough for safe wintering. If the indoor temperature is lower, you can cover it with plastic film.

Try to keep the temperature above 5℃ in winter. Frostbite may occur easily if the temperature is too low.

Fire Festival Winter Care: Watering

You can water it normally as long as the temperature is not lower than 0 degrees. The fire plant can withstand temperatures as low as minus 5 degrees Celsius when the soil in the pot is dry. Hibernate in winter, pay attention to control water.

If the indoor temperature is high, the fire festival will grow normally and water it appropriately in an environment with sufficient light.

Fire Festival Winter Care: Fertilization

Winter dormancy is the dormant period of the Fire Festival, and you can give it some nutrients and fertilizers appropriately. Normally, no fertilization is needed, just add nutrients when the temperature rises in spring.

Fire Festival Winter Care: Pests and Diseases

Fireweed is not prone to insects, but necessary prevention is still necessary. Burying Furadan once in winter can prevent the breeding and spread of insects.
