Is the fortune tree afraid of cold?

1. Are you afraid of cold?

The money tree is very afraid of cold and will be frostbitten if the temperature drops below 5℃. In the southern part of our country, it can spend the winter outdoors, but in the north it needs to be kept indoors.

2. Winter maintenance

1. Fertilize in winter: Fertilize the money tree once before winter. Fertilizers can be organic fertilizers or animal manure, which will help them to safely survive the winter. Do not apply fertilizer in winter to avoid fertilizer accumulation and affect its development.

2. Increase light: Provide shade in other seasons to avoid strong light exposure. However, in winter, the money tree should be placed in a sunny place. Light is not only beneficial to its growth, but also can appropriately increase the temperature.

3. Reduce watering: The temperature is lower in winter and the plant does not absorb much water, so water less. Of course, if the indoor temperature is high, the money tree will still grow normally, and watering should focus on keeping it moist. The water temperature cannot be too low, otherwise it will also freeze.

4. Keep the trunk warm: The branches, leaves and roots of the money tree have strong growth capabilities, but you must be especially careful with the trunk. You can wrap the surface with a layer of plastic film, then add a layer of cotton, and then wrap it again outside. This will increase the warmth retention capacity and keep it from freezing in winter.
