How to keep potted flowers warm in winter

1. About fertilization and watering:

If you want potted plants to grow well, you need to strictly control the amount of water. After winter, the temperature drops from above zero to below zero. The environment required by plants cannot meet their self-growth requirements, photosynthesis slows down, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of plants. Flower lovers can water or fertilize according to the variety, size, and actual amount of water required of the potted plants to more practically meet the needs of the plants. For drought-resistant plants such as cacti and succulents, watering them twice a month is enough. Do not water them frequently, otherwise the plants will be soaked in water for a long time. The roots and stems will inevitably rot, the leaves will fall off, and eventually die. Ordinary families often place flowers on the windowsill where the light is strong. The sunlight can keep the potted plants warm. The sunlight penetrates the glass, turning the balcony into a glass greenhouse, raising the indoor temperature and providing the plants with the necessary light.

3. About temperature:

In winter, the temperature is too low, which is not conducive to the growth of potted plants. You should know that the indoor temperature will be more conducive to the growth of potted plants. If the indoor temperature is high, you can use heating or burning coal in the house to raise the indoor air temperature through external conditions. If this method cannot achieve the desired effect, we can use plastic film to raise the temperature of the plants. If you want the plants to thrive in winter, you need to build a warm insulation shed for the potted plants. When the potted plants are covered with plastic film, it is like entering a greenhouse. They can thrive and bear fruit no matter what the weather is, spring, summer, autumn or winter. Specific steps: Use wooden sticks or wire mesh to build a model, tie the film to the built model, and then tie the film with a rope. Ordinary families like to place flowers on windowsills or balconies. If the home has large floor-to-ceiling windows, heat can be retained by sticking insulation film on the glass. However, it should be noted that everything has its limits. If the temperature is too high, the flowers will bloom early.

4. About humidification and dust prevention:

Plants not only need sufficient water and light, but also need appropriate dryness and wetness. The indoor air in the north is dry and the humidity is low, which cannot reach the air humidity required by plants. Therefore, water should be sprinkled indoors frequently during the winter to ensure that the air moisture content is appropriate. In the north in winter, the air is dry and dusty. If potted plants are placed indoors for too long, they will easily be covered with a lot of dust. So if you want your potted plants to thrive, you must remove the dust from the leaves. In order to ensure the better growth of potted flowers and consider their aesthetics, we need to clean them regularly, otherwise it will hinder warmth retention. You can use a rag or other item dipped in hand soap to clean the dust on the branches and leaves to maintain the appearance of the plant. Then rinse the leaves with clean water.

5. Notes:

Pay attention to indoor ventilation. In winter, we can choose to open the windows on days with plenty of light and clear weather. When ventilating, remove excess dust in the room, otherwise the plants will not be able to carry out normal photosynthesis and hinder warmth. At the same time, do not let cold wind blow directly on the plants, which will cause the plants to catch cold and cause wilting.
