Watering heather in winter

1. Watering in winter

Do not water the heather too much in winter, just keep the soil in the pot half dry. The temperature is lower at this time and its demand for water is not high. Too much watering can not only easily cause water accumulation, but may also cause frostbite to the plants. But if it is kept in a greenhouse and continues to bloom, it can also be given sufficient water.

2. How to survive the winter

1. Light: Heather grows best in an environment with sufficient light. The light in winter is relatively soft and will not cause damage to the plants, so they can be placed in a sunny place all the time. Moreover, if it is exposed to light during the flowering period, the flowering period can be prolonged.

2. Temperature: Heather has good cold resistance and can survive in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius. However, in order to ensure its healthy growth, the temperature should be controlled at around 10℃. This is not only beneficial to its growth, but also can prolong the flowering period.

3. Fertilization: It is not suitable to apply fertilizer to heather in winter as fertilizer is difficult to absorb. When new roots grow out in spring, it is easy to damage them. But if the room temperature is suitable, you can also apply a little liquid fertilizer to help its growth.

4. Pruning: If the heather grows too vigorously, it needs to be pruned appropriately to control the size of the plant. Cutting off dense branches, crossed branches, etc., as well as removing dead branches and weak branches, will help it promote the growth of new branches.
