Agave wintering temperature, can Agave survive the winter?

1. Winter temperature

Its origin is in tropical regions. It likes warm environment and is not cold-resistant. The temperature is low in winter, so you must pay attention to temperature control. The temperature for wintering should be above 5 degrees. If it is below 5 degrees, frost damage is likely to occur. It is recommended to move it indoors for management after the temperature drops in late autumn. It is best to control the temperature above 10 degrees so that the plant can continue to grow.

2. Can it survive the winter?

It has a strong adaptability. Although it has poor cold resistance, as long as you pay attention to the maintenance methods in winter, it can be guaranteed to survive safely.

In addition to temperature, you should also pay more attention to humidity and light. In a low temperature environment, water evaporates slowly, its growth rate is also slow, and the water requirement will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced at this time. Water only when you find the soil is dry, and pay attention to the water temperature, trying to keep it close to the soil temperature. It likes light and should be placed in a well-lit place indoors. It is best to get full sun exposure all day, which can raise the temperature and meet its need for light, which is beneficial for it to survive the winter.

3. Precautions for wintering

The plants grow slowly in winter, and the nutrients contained in the soil can meet the needs. Please be careful not to apply fertilizer. Even if applied, it will not be absorbed, but will burn the roots and damage the plant. Wait until the temperature rises in spring and the plants start to grow before managing them normally.
