No pressure to grow flowers outdoors in winter, these 6 kinds of flowers become redder the colder they get!

camellia

There is no pressure to grow camellia in the south in winter, and most of them can withstand temperatures as low as minus 5-10 degrees Celsius. The winter in the north is relatively cold, so you can choose more cold-resistant varieties, such as Chidan and Shandong Naidong, both of which can withstand temperatures as low as minus 10-20 degrees Celsius.

Winter maintenance:

1. Camellia likes acidic soil with high viscosity. The soil and water in the north are alkaline, so you can improve the situation by watering with ferrous sulfate solution once a month.

2. Water the plant only when the surface of the soil turns white. Do not water the plant too much in winter, otherwise the buds will easily fall off.

3. When growing camellia indoors, it is best not to place it near a heater as it will be too dry and the buds will die. Spray water around the leaves to humidify them at noon.

Azalea

Azalea is actually quite cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 3 degrees Celsius. As long as the soil in the pot is not frozen for a long time, it will have no problem surviving the winter. Flower lovers south of Shandong can choose any variety, and flower lovers in the northeast can choose alpine azalea.

Winter maintenance:

1. Potted azaleas should be moved indoors before frost and kept in a location with diffuse light. If planted in the ground, spread hay or waste cardboard on the ground to prevent freezing.

2. Azaleas should also be protected from wind in winter to prevent their branches from being dried out and causing them to shed leaves and die.

3. If your home has a heater, it cannot be placed directly on the ground with floor heating. You need to spray more water to humidify it.

tulip

Tulips are brightly colored and can grow and bloom normally at 8 degrees Celsius. They can withstand temperatures as low as minus 14 degrees Celsius in winter and can still bloom in heavy snow or blizzards!

Winter maintenance:

1. Tulips can be planted in autumn and winter from October to December every year. The bulbs are suitable for planting in sandy soil.

2. It usually blooms once a year with a long flowering period. Dig out the bulbs in spring and summer to dry them, wrap them with newspapers, and plant them again in autumn and winter. They may bloom again.

Rose

Many roses are still in bloom now. When the coldest months come from December to February (Gregorian calendar), it is best to prepare for wintering. The more cold-resistant varieties of roses include: Royal Carriage, Free Spirit, Pink Da Vinci, Scarlet Fairy, etc.

Winter maintenance:

1. Maintain sufficient light in winter, with light exposure of more than 4 hours a day.

2. After the roses bloom this month, do some light pruning, and remove diseased branches and weak branches first.

3. Heavy pruning is required during the coldest winter (around February in the Gregorian calendar), cutting to about 20 cm from the ground, so that new branches will grow again in the spring.

Daffodils

A pot of pure and clean daffodils is a must in any winter house. Most Chinese people remember that there was a pot of daffodils on every table in the guest seats of the Spring Festival Gala. It can not only be hydroponically grown with cold water, but also planted in the ground~

Winter maintenance:

1. Daffodils can be planted directly in sandy soil, pearl stone, rain flower stone and clean water.

2. Before the daffodils bloom, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week to promote flowering and increase the number of flowers.

3. After the daffodils bloom, you can add an aspirin or oryzanol tablet to the water to extend the flowering period.

Iron chopsticks

I heard that the iron chopsticks only bloom when it snows, which means it is really not afraid of the cold. Originally, the helleborus was an alpine plant, but was later cultivated by families. It can withstand temperatures around minus 15 degrees Celsius and is completely stress-free to grow indoors.

Winter maintenance:

1. The iron chopsticks can be propagated by division or sowing. It is best to use fluffy leaf mold and coconut husk soil.

2. Except for the full sunlight in winter, it is necessary to provide shade in other seasons, as it will hibernate in summer.

3. You can use low temperature to promote flowering. It is better to put it outdoors in winter.
