Are succulents afraid of freezing? How to grow them in winter

1. Are succulents afraid of freezing?

There are many varieties of succulents, and almost all of them are afraid of low temperature environments and are afraid of freezing. As long as the temperature is too low, succulents will be frozen and die in a short time. Therefore, after the temperature drops in winter, it is necessary to control the temperature and provide it with a suitable temperature so that it can better survive the winter and resume growth next year.

2. How to grow succulents in winter

1. Temperature control: The temperature in winter is too low, so you have to move it indoors and control the indoor temperature above 5 degrees. Only when the temperature is suitable can you survive safely. If the plant is accidentally frozen, it will be difficult for it to recover.

2. Watering: The growth rate of succulents is relatively slow in winter, and the water storage capacity is very small, so water control must be appropriate. If the soil is not dry, do not water it. Usually, watering once or twice throughout the winter is enough. Dry soil is more conducive to wintering. Too wet soil will easily freeze and cause frostbite to the plants.

3. Light: Succulent plants like the sun, and the light in winter is very mild, so you can put them in a bright place to let them get more sun. It is recommended to place it on a south-facing windowsill and expose it to sunlight all day long. This can increase the temperature of the plant and help it survive the winter.

4. Pruning: Prune the plant in winter, cut off some weak branches, twigs, and diseased leaves to reduce the loss of water and nutrients, so that the plant has a greater ability to withstand low temperatures and survive the winter better.
