How to grow Chinese evergreen in winter

1. Maintain temperature

When caring for Chinese evergreen in winter, the most important factor is to maintain a good temperature and make sure the plant does not get frostbite. Because the temperature in the growing environment in northern regions is relatively low, it is necessary to move it indoors to keep it warm and keep the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius. Generally, this requirement can be met if there is heating in the home. The temperature in the southern region is a bit higher, so it can be grown directly outdoors, but you must take measures to keep out the cold. You can put a plastic bag on the plant. Although it is kept indoors, be careful not to place it near a window in winter.

2. Plenty of Sunlight

Although Chinese evergreen is afraid of exposure to the sun, the intensity of sunlight in winter is relatively low and will not cause harm to the plant, so it can be kept in a bright place.

3. Reduce watering

The growth rate of Chinese evergreen is very slow in winter and it does not need too much water during its growth. If water accumulates, it will cause root rot and affect the growth of the entire plant. Keep the soil in the pot dry in winter, and water only after the soil becomes dry.

4. Stop fertilizing

The growth rate is very slow in winter and no fertilizer is needed, especially when the growth temperature is relatively low, you must not apply fertilizer.

5. Spray water appropriately

The air is relatively dry in winter, so you can spray water around the plants and wipe the leaves with a wet cloth to keep them clean, which can also promote growth.
