How does the creeping bellflower survive the winter? Will it freeze to death?

1. How to survive the winter

1. Adequate light: The creeping bellflower is a light-loving plant and cannot grow without sufficient light during its growth. Normally, it needs to be placed in a sunny place and receive 3-4 hours of sunlight every day. In winter, you can keep it in the sun all the time. Since the light is relatively soft, it will not burn the leaves and will also help photosynthesis.

2. Keep warm: The climbing bellflower has poor cold resistance and is suitable for growing in warm places. Usually the plant will bloom only when the temperature is above 15℃. You need to keep it warm at ordinary times, and move it to a warm place indoors in time before winter. If the room temperature is low, you can also put a plastic bag on the plant to keep it warm, which can also prevent it from freezing.

3. Watering in moderation: Creeping bellflower grows better in a humid environment, but in winter, due to lower temperatures, the growth rate of the plant slows down and the demand for water also decreases. In this case, don't water too much, just make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. In addition, pay attention to the water temperature and do not use cold water directly on the roots.

4. Pay attention to pruning: Before winter, prune the climbing bellflower to reduce nutrient consumption and help it survive the winter. The main targets are dead branches and withered flowers. At the same time, the crown of the tree should be cleared, and the overgrown branches, overlapping branches and crossed branches should be cut off to increase ventilation and light transmission to prevent bacteria from breeding and causing the plants to become sick.

2. Will I freeze to death?

The creeping bellflower is not cold-resistant, so it may be frozen to death. In winter, you must pay attention to the temperature and make sure it does not drop below 8℃, otherwise you will get frostbite. Lower temperatures are more likely to cause it to die directly, so good cold-proof measures need to be taken.
