How do iron trees survive the winter? How do they wrap themselves in winter?

1. Move indoors

The most important thing for the iron tree in winter is temperature. It likes warmth and is afraid of cold climates. When the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, it may cause frostbite or frost damage. In cold northern regions, be sure to move it indoors in time and try to keep the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius.

2. Keep warm measures

For iron trees grown outdoors, it is necessary to take warming measures before the cold wave arrives. Wrap the tree with non-woven fabric or quilts, and gather the leaves with ropes. Move it to a sunny and sheltered place to prevent cold winds from invading the iron tree and preventing the tree itself from being frozen. This can keep the tree warm and help it survive the winter safely.

3. Sufficient light

The iron tree loves sunlight very much. The intensity of sunlight in winter is very low, which is just the right time for it to see sunlight. Whether overwintering outdoors or indoors, sufficient sunlight is needed to synthesize nutrients and promote growth through sunlight, and to increase its own growth temperature.

4. Control water and stop fertilizer

After winter, the iron tree's water and fertilizer requirements will be greatly reduced. You can observe the condition of the soil to determine whether watering is needed and keep the soil dry. Control fertilization well. You can avoid fertilizing in winter and wait until the temperature warms up in spring before applying fertilizer.
