How to grow and trim snapdragons in winter

1. How to grow snapdragon in winter

1. Keep warm: Snapdragon has a certain degree of cold resistance and can tolerate lower temperatures. But in winter, if the temperature is particularly low, below 7℃, you need to keep it warm. At this time, it is best to move it to a warmer indoor place for maintenance. However, because it likes a cool environment, the temperature should not be too high, just keep it at around 10℃.

2. Sunlight: It likes sunlight very much, and it should be kept in a place with good lighting conditions in winter. The time it receives light can be appropriately extended. Because the light intensity is lower in winter, extending the light exposure time can help it synthesize more nutrients, and there is no need to worry about it getting sunburned.

3. Watering: In winter, you need to slightly reduce the frequency of watering. Because its growth rate slows down at this time, its water demand will decrease. If you don't reduce watering, it will have too much water and cause it to freeze or become waterlogged.

4. Fertilization: In winter, it is generally not necessary to fertilize snapdragons. It is a flower that is resistant to barrenness and requires less fertilizer. In winter, when the growth rate is slower, not much nutrients are needed, and the nutrients already in the soil can meet its needs. Therefore, no additional fertilization is required.

During the growing season, snapdragons need to be pruned. You can pinch it once when it grows to about 10cm to control its height. When it is diseased, the diseased leaves need to be cut off in time. In addition, it also needs to be pruned after it has finished flowering. At this time, you need to immediately cut off the dead flowers and leaves to save nutrients.
