How to grow Gloxinia in winter

1. Winter maintenance methods

1. Remove the bulb and preserve it: If there is no way to provide a warm growing environment for Gloxinia in winter, it will enter a dormant state and stop growing. When the temperature drops below 5℃, it is recommended to take it out of the pot, cut off the excess stems and leaves on the plant, and then place it in a cool, ventilated place to dry for a while. Afterwards, wrap them in newspaper and store them in a cool, dry place. You can replant it when the temperature rises next year.

2. Normal maintenance: In winter, if you can place the African violet tree in a warm room and provide it with a growing environment above 5℃, you don’t need to remove the bulb and can directly maintain it. When caring for it, be sure to place it in a place with good lighting conditions and let it receive more sunlight. In addition, pay attention to maintaining ventilation and do not place it in a closed place for a long time to avoid poor growth.

2. Precautions

1. If you want to remove the bulb, you must be careful not to damage the bulb. Otherwise, even if you plant it again next year, the plants will still grow poorly.

2. If you want to keep it indoors, you need to pay attention to gradually reducing the frequency of watering and fertilizing as the temperature drops. If the temperature is below 10℃, fertilization can be suspended. When the temperature rises next year, resume normal watering and fertilizing frequency.
