1. How do blue snowflakes survive the winter?

1. Light: Blue snow flowers like sunshine, especially the warm and soft light in winter. They must be exposed to more sunshine to allow them to accumulate nutrients to help them survive the winter. In addition, sufficient light can also increase the local temperature of the blue snow flowers, increasing warmth and keeping them warm.

2. Temperature: The most suitable growth temperature for blue snow flower is 15-28℃. It is not afraid of heat but afraid of cold. It can overwinter in the open field south of the Yangtze River, but in the northern regions, it must be maintained in potted plants and moved indoors in winter to overwinter to prevent the blue snow from freezing to death.

3. Watering: Blue snow flower plants like water, and the soil in the pot should be kept moist during the growing period. However, the temperature is low in winter, so it is best to wait until the soil is almost dry before watering. In other words, when you feel the weight of the flowerpot becomes noticeably lighter, water it thoroughly.

4. Fertilization: The temperature is low in winter, so do not apply fertilizer to domestic blue snow flowers to avoid fertilizer damage. Wait until the weather warms up next year before applying fertilizer and water to promote vigorous growth and crazy flowering of the plants.

2. Will the blue snowflakes shed their leaves in winter?

If the blue snow flower plant is grown indoors, its leaves will hardly fall off in winter, but the plant will grow poorly and its leaves will turn yellow. It is normal for the leaves of the blue snow plant to turn yellow in winter, and we don't need to prune it. Wait until the spring comes and the flowers bloom, then give the blue snow plant a heavy pruning. The plant will soon sprout new branches and grow wildly.
