How does the five-color plum spend the winter

1. Wintering Methods

The five-color plum is a particularly typical tropical plant. It prefers to grow in an environment with high temperature and high humidity, and its ability to resist cold is relatively poor. If the temperature is below ten degrees, its leaves will fall off, and it may even die if it encounters ice, snow or frost, so it needs to use certain methods to resist the cold. The outdoor temperature is low in winter, so the five-color plum needs to be moved to a warm room and the temperature should be maintained above 15 degrees. If conditions are insufficient and the temperature cannot be raised above fifteen degrees, the temperature can be maintained above eight degrees. However, the temperature that the five-color plum receives is not enough to continue growing, and it will automatically enter a dormant state. In this state, its demand for water and fertilizer is greatly reduced, so no fertilizer is needed at this time, and the amount of watering should be much less than in other seasons. Light is also a very important condition. The five-color plum should be placed in a place with sufficient light.

2. Precautions

1. This plant has relatively weak cold resistance and cannot be placed outdoors, otherwise it will easily be damaged by low temperatures.

2. Even during the dormant period when the demand for water and fertilizer is not high, you must pay attention to maintenance.
