How can Monstera survive the winter safely? Is Monstera afraid of the cold in winter?

1. How to spend the winter safely

1. Adequate light: Monstera usually likes to grow in a diffuse light environment and does not like to be placed directly under the sun. However, the light in winter is weak and the light time is short, so it can be placed in a place with good light. It can synthesize nutrients through sunlight to promote growth and increase the temperature to ensure safe wintering.

2. Reduce water and fertilizer: After winter, the surrounding climate is cold, the plants grow slowly, and the demand for water and fertilizer is less, so watering and fertilizing should be reduced. Normally, you can observe that the soil surface is dry before watering. It cannot be kept moist for a long time, otherwise it will cause the roots to rot. If the indoor temperature is suitable, you can also apply fertilizer appropriately, applying a thin layer of fertilizer every month or so.

3. Move indoors: It cannot withstand cold climates. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius for a long time, the plant may be frostbitten, affecting its normal growth. Monstera cannot be left outdoors over the winter. It must be moved indoors for maintenance, and the temperature should be kept above 15 degrees Celsius as much as possible.

4. Spray water appropriately: The climate in winter is very dry, and the leaves may be covered with dust, affecting the appearance. You need to spray water on the leaves appropriately or wipe them with a wet cloth.

2. Are you afraid of cold in winter?

Monstera is a tropical plant and is afraid of the cold in winter, so you must take good warming measures to prevent frostbite.
