A complete guide to how to keep flowers and plants alive over the winter!

Succulents overwintering

In summary, the two most important things for succulents to safely overwinter are to keep warm and reduce watering.

Most succulents love heat. Faced with the low temperatures in winter, the growth rate of many varieties of succulents will slow down or even enter a dormant stage. Therefore, in winter, we should pay attention to keeping succulents warm on a daily basis and let them receive light in time. We all know that the fleshy leaves of succulents contain a lot of water. Similarly, when the temperature is low, succulents are very susceptible to frost damage, which is also because of their fleshy leaves. Therefore, we must do a good job of insulation in winter.

Growth is slow in winter, and some succulents enter dormancy at this time, and their physiological activities almost stop. Naturally, you should reduce watering to prevent damage to the roots of the succulents. In some northern areas during the winter, when the indoor temperature is high, ventilation is needed, but don't let the succulents get close to the window to prevent them from freezing!

Overwintering of Foliage Plants

When foliage plants overwinter, the main thing to pay attention to is maintaining the room temperature and ensuring that the indoor temperature is higher than the minimum temperature for plant growth. For friends who live in the south without heating, you can build an insulated shed for the flowers and provide them with light on time every day. In the northern regions, flower lovers with heating do not need to worry too much about this issue. The editor knows that there is no problem with your room temperature in winter! However, you still need to pay attention to ventilation and watering, and don't let the plants succumb to other factors.

Overwintering of Fruit-Viewing Plants

Fruit-viewing plants are relatively special. If your fruit-viewing plants have already borne fruit, you need to pay special attention at this time. Never apply fertilizer, otherwise it is likely to cause the fruit to fall. Compared with other plants, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced in winter, but this is not the case with fruit-viewing plants. The growth of fruit requires a lot of water. If water is not replenished in time in winter, it is likely to cause the fruit to shrivele, and in this case, it will lose its good ornamental value. Therefore, insulation is naturally necessary, but watering should not be ignored!

Summary of detailed information on plant overwintering

In fact, in winter, the general work that needs to be done for flowers and plants can be summarized in this sentence: less watering, less fertilization, more sunlight, and prevention of diseases! Keep the room temperature well ventilated and be careful not to let your plants catch a cold!

In fact, no matter what type of ornamental plants you plant, the key is to care for them according to their growth habits. The editor here wants to say that as long as all flower lovers take care of them with care, there will be no problems with your flowers at any time!
