How to overwinter the hanging bamboo plum in winter and how often to water it

1. How does the hanging bamboo plum survive the winter?

1. Keep warm: In winter, the hanging bamboo plum should be moved to a warm room for maintenance. It is afraid of cold, and if the ambient temperature is below 8℃, it may be frostbitten. Therefore, the temperature of the room where it is kept needs to be controlled above 8°C.

2. Provide light: In winter, the light is relatively weak. Therefore, it can be grown in a place with better lighting conditions. Exposing it to more sunlight can allow its leaves to synthesize more nutrients, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

3. Keep ventilation: If you keep it indoors in winter, it will be difficult for it to come into contact with fresh air, so you need to pay attention to keeping ventilation. When the weather is not very cold, you can open the window to let it get more fresh air. This is also good for it to overwinter. But be careful: if it is very cold outside, or even windy, don't open it to avoid frostbite.

2. How often should I water the hanging bamboo plum?

Hanging bamboo plum likes water. In spring, summer and autumn, it can be watered every 1-2 days. When the weather is very hot, the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately. However, if the soil is not dry yet, you don't need to water it. In winter, because the growth rate slows down, you can reduce the frequency of watering it and change it to watering once every 7-10 days.
