How to keep baby's breath in winter

1. Suitable temperature

Gypsophila paniculata is not very cold-resistant. If the temperature is too low, it will be frostbitten, and in severe cases, it will even freeze to death. It is best not to go below ten degrees. In addition, it is possible for baby's breath to bloom in winter. Therefore, if you want it to bloom in winter, the temperature requirement will be higher, and it needs to be between ten and twenty-two degrees to meet its flowering requirements.

2. Adequate lighting

In winter, ensuring sufficient light for baby's breath is another important task. Good light helps it to survive the winter safely, and light is also necessary if you want it to bloom in this season. It needs at least six hours of sunlight per day. Because the light in winter is not too strong, just place it in a bright place without shade.

3. Appropriate amount of water

In winter, baby's breath does not require much water. However, since it may bloom at this time, it is not good to not water it at all. However, the frequency of watering in winter is less than in other seasons, generally watering is required once every half a month. When you observe that the soil is dry, you can also water it slightly. In addition, the timing of watering is also very important, it is best to water on a sunny day.

4. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Gypsophila generally has no demand for fertilizer in winter, so no fertilizer is required. However, if its leaves turn yellow, you will need to use some fertilizers that contain more potassium.
