How to grow Pilea coleus in winter, what to do if the edges of the leaves turn black

1. How to grow cold water flowers in winter

1. Increase the temperature: In winter, you should pay attention to providing a warm growing environment for the cool water flowers. Because it is not particularly cold-resistant, if the temperature is very low, it will freeze. Specifically, the temperature needs to be kept above 5°C. If you want to grow it outdoors, you need to wrap it with film to prevent it from freezing. The film needs to be removed at noon every two days to allow it to breathe.

2. Stop fertilizing: It grows slowly in winter and does not require additional nutrients, so there is no need to fertilize it.

3. Proper water control: In winter, the soil in the pot should be kept in a slightly dry state, but the soil in the pot should not be allowed to dry out and crack. It is recommended to water once every 15-20 days.

4. Increase light: In winter, it is recommended to provide it with more sunlight. Because although it is shade-tolerant, it can grow better in an environment with sufficient light. Extending the time it receives sunlight in winter is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

2. What to do if the edges of the leaves of Pilea coleus turn black?

The blackening of the edges of the leaves of Pilea coleus may be caused by dry air and insufficient ventilation. This problem often occurs in summer. In the early stage, only the tip of the leaves turns black, and slowly the edges of the leaves and even the entire leaves will turn black. At this time, you need to cut off the leaves that have turned severely black first, and then spray water around it regularly to increase the humidity of the air. It will recover soon.
