How do sunflowers survive the winter?

1. Ensure lighting

As its name suggests, it likes light. In winter, it needs to increase its exposure to light time, and it is best to receive full-day light. This can not only meet the needs of growth, but also increase its own temperature. The most suitable contact time is from 10 am to 4 pm. This period is relatively warm and suitable for growth.

2. Control watering

In winter, the temperature drops, evaporation decreases, and the demand for water is also less, so apply as little water as possible. It only takes about 15 days at intervals. It is best to keep the soil in the pot dry, which can effectively help it survive the winter safely. The best time to water is at noon, when the water temperature reaches the room temperature.

3. Control temperature

When the temperature drops in late autumn, it can be moved indoors for maintenance. It is most appropriate to control the temperature at 15-20 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will affect its growth.

4. Apply nutrients

Before winter, you can increase the application of nutrients appropriately to enhance the physical fitness of the plants. This provides adequate preparation for the winter.
