How to grow Serissa serrata in winter? Will it shed its leaves in winter?

1. How to keep it in winter

1. Increase sunlight: June snow needs moderate light during its growth process and is very afraid of strong light. Therefore, it cannot be placed in a sunny place for a long time to avoid sunburn. However, the light in winter is relatively soft, and regular exposure to the sun can help promote photosynthesis, increase the ambient temperature, and help the plants survive the winter.

2. Keep warm: If you want June snow to survive the winter safely, you must control the temperature. If the temperature is below 6℃, you will get frostbite. Therefore, before winter, you need to put it in a warm place indoors, or cover the upper part of the plant with plastic tape, which can keep it warm.

3. Control water and stop fertilizing: The growth of June snow will slow down or even stop after winter. At this time, the demand for water and nutrients is relatively low. Therefore, watering should be controlled and fertilization should be stopped. Otherwise, excessive water and fertilizer will easily affect the growth of the plant and even there is a risk of root rot. If the indoor temperature is suitable and the plant continues to grow, you can water and fertilize it normally.

4. Keep ventilation: If the June snow is grown indoors and the environment is relatively sealed, the plant will often have difficulty breathing, affecting its development. Good ventilation needs to be maintained. Usually, you can put it on the balcony at noon and open the window to let the plant breathe fresh air, but avoid being blown by cold wind.

2. Will the leaves fall?

June snow is an evergreen shrub. As long as the temperature is suitable, it will not shed its leaves. However, as long as the temperature is below 15℃, the plant will grow poorly and may shed its leaves. However, new leaves will grow in the spring of the second year, so you don't need to worry too much about the growth of the plant.
