How to care for potted sunflowers in winter? Will sunflowers die in winter?

1. Winter maintenance methods

1. Indoor insulation: It is not cold-resistant and is afraid of low temperatures in winter. Move it indoors after the temperature drops and control the temperature. The minimum temperature must be kept above 10 degrees, otherwise you will get frostbite. It is best to keep it between 15 and 20 degrees.

2. Reduce watering: In the low temperature environment in winter, the evaporation of water is naturally slow, and it grows slowly, and the water demand will also decrease, so you must control the water. It is best to keep the soil dry so that it can survive the winter. Usually it is enough to water once every half a month, and pay attention to the water temperature. The temperature of the water should be close to the temperature of the soil, and it is best to do it in the afternoon.

3. Get more sun: It likes light, and the temperature is low in winter, so it should be placed in the light and get more sun. This will not only meet its needs for light, but also increase the temperature. It can be exposed to the sun after 10 am and before 4 pm, that is, full daylight.

4. Apply winter fertilizer: If you want it to spend the winter safely, apply winter fertilizer once before winter every day. This will not only supplement the necessary nutrients, but also improve its cold resistance, which is conducive to wintering.

2. Will winter kill you?

Therefore, it is mostly cultivated as an annual. However, if you follow the above-mentioned maintenance methods, you can safely survive the winter and resume growth in the spring of the following year.
