Several misunderstandings about growing succulents in winter

Myth 1: Put it outdoors

Most novice friends like to put succulents outdoors in winter, thinking that the morning dew is good for them, but this practice is wrong. The temperature in winter is already low, and it is several degrees below zero at night. If you leave succulents outdoors in this condition, they will be frozen to death within a week.

The correct approach: Place succulents indoors or on a closed balcony during the colder winter months to ensure they are not affected by cold currents. When the temperature is a little higher during the day, you can open the windows to ventilate and get some sunshine.

Myth 2: Watering frequently

In fact, many friends still like to water their succulents more in winter because they think the weather in winter is too dry and they may die if they are not watered frequently. This idea is actually wrong, because succulents have actually stopped growing in winter, so there is no need to water them frequently.

Correct approach: Young succulents may need more water, but not too much. Just keep the soil moist. Larger and stronger succulents do not need this. Just water them whenever you remember.

Misunderstanding 3: Place it in a dark place indoors

Many friends like to keep succulents in a dark place indoors, where they rarely see natural sunlight. This is very bad for succulents. Whether it is succulents or other plants, they all like sunlight very much. And it’s never wrong to get more sun.

Correction: Try to place succulents on an enclosed balcony, so you don’t have to worry about changing their positions frequently. The temperature on the enclosed balcony is similar to that indoors, so you don’t have to worry about the sudden changes in temperature making the succulents unhealthy, and they can still get some sun.

Well, the above three are the common misunderstandings when growing succulents in winter. In fact, there are some more misunderstandings, but this article will not list them one by one. In fact, raising succulents is like raising a small animal. If you are good to it, it will repay you with a more beautiful appearance. It is worth it. I hope my friends can grow succulents scientifically and help them survive the winter well!
