Is Olivia succulent resistant to freezing?

1. Is it frost-resistant?

Olivia prefers cool climates but cannot tolerate freezing. If the temperature is above 10℃, the plant can still grow normally, but when it reaches 5℃, the growth will be very slow. If it is below 0℃, the plant may be frostbitten. Therefore, various measures must be taken in winter to ensure that it can survive the winter safely.

2. How to spend the winter

1. Keep warm: Before winter, Olivia needs to be moved to a warm place indoors in time to ensure that the temperature is above 5℃. If the room temperature is not enough, you can put a plastic bag on the plant to keep it warm, which can also have a heat preservation effect. It should be noted that the bag should be opened regularly to allow air to ventilate the plant to prevent it from being unable to breathe.

2. Increase light: Olivia is a light-loving plant. Although it needs appropriate shade at noon in summer, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive light all day in winter. Because the temperature is not high at this time and the light is very soft, sufficient light will help raise the ambient temperature so that it can better survive the winter.

3. Reduce water and stop fertilizing: As the temperature drops, Olivia gradually enters a dormant state and its demand for water and nutrients decreases, so it is necessary to reduce water and stop fertilizing. If you continue to water and fertilize, it may damage the root system of the plant and be detrimental to its growth. However, if it is kept indoors, it can be maintained normally as long as the temperature exceeds 10℃.
