How to keep lucky bamboo safe through the winter, what to do if it gets frostbitten

1. How to spend the winter safely

1. Temperature control: Lucky bamboo has poor cold resistance and the temperature is low in winter. The first thing to consider is temperature control. The temperature must be around 20 degrees. It can only grow in such an environment. If the temperature is around 10 degrees, it will stop growing, and if it is below 10 degrees, it is easy to cause frost damage. Also be careful not to place it next to heating equipment, otherwise it may get burned. If there is no heating in the room, wrap it with old clothes to help it survive the winter.

2. Reduce watering: Its growth rate is relatively slow in winter, and the water requirement will naturally decrease. You should reduce watering and do not water unless the soil is dry. If it is grown in water, the water should be changed regularly, preferably every 20-30 days. You also need to control the water temperature, which should be close to room temperature to reduce irritation.

3. Get more sun: It is shade-tolerant, but the light in winter is very soft. You can put it in a bright place and let it get more sun. This can increase the temperature of the plant and encourage it to photosynthesize better, thereby accumulating more nutrients, which is beneficial for wintering.

2. What to do if you get frostbite

If it is a minor frostbite, you should cut off the frozen leaves in time and move it to a warm place with a temperature above 10 degrees. Give it sufficient light. If the environment is suitable, the plant will slowly recover. However, if the frostbite is severe, it is necessary to remove the plant from the pot and prune it, cut off the frostbitten part, and then disinfect it before replanting.
