How to raise spring fern in winter

How to survive the winter

Room temperature control

If you want to be safe, you can safely spend the winter with a temperature of eight degrees or above, but the lowest temperature should not be below zero degrees Celsius. Although the plants may be able to tolerate it and slowly come back to life in the spring of the following year, we should not joke with our beloved plants.

Moisture Control

We may have heard that spring fern is native to hot and humid places, so it has a high demand for water. Although it begins to hibernate in winter and the water required is reduced accordingly, you still cannot forget to water it. Water the plant in time when the soil in the pot becomes dry and cracked, but do not soak it in water. Alternatively, you can also take care of it by sprinkling water on the leaves and spraying water into the surrounding environment.

Lighting control

If you place it in a dark place for a long time, its leaves may slowly turn yellow and the beautiful green color will gradually disappear. So, let it see the light regularly. However, it does not like long-term sunlight. Yes, it is a bit harsh. Therefore, choose a semi-shaded environment, or place it in the sun for a while and then put it away in time.

Fertilizer control

You should pay attention to the dosage starting from late autumn. The plant will enter a dormant period in winter and almost no nutrients are needed, so fertilization should be suspended.

Precautions

The suitable room temperature for the growth of this plant is 18 to 30 degrees Celsius. It will enter a dormant period in winter. It can be seen from here that it will be affected in winter. But don’t worry too much, although it is not very suitable, spring fern is still a relatively cold-resistant plant species, it’s just that its condition is slightly worse. Of course, friends who live in areas with lower temperatures in winter should pay attention and take good care of the plants.
