Although trumpet creeper is easy to maintain, all plants need proper insulation measures in winter to prevent frost damage. To ensure that trumpet creeper survives the cold winter safely, the following measures can be taken: 1. Temperature control It is crucial to ensure that the trumpet creeper can maintain a suitable growing temperature during the winter. As a plant that prefers a warm environment, the most suitable growth temperature range for trumpet creeper is 10 to 28 degrees Celsius. Although it has a certain degree of cold resistance, it is quite difficult to maintain a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius in winter. Once the temperature drops below 5 degrees Celsius, measures need to be taken to protect it, such as moving the plant indoors or covering it with a plastic bag to provide additional insulation. 2. Lighting requirements Light is also important for the winter growth of trumpet creeper. This plant loves sunlight very much and can grow even in a shady environment, but its growth condition and the number and color of flowers will be greatly reduced compared to those in the sun. Therefore, in winter, the trumpet creeper should be placed in a sunny place indoors to ensure that it has sufficient light. 3. Water management Trumpet creeper has a high demand for water, and sufficient water helps maintain its hydrated appearance and promote flowering. However, in winter, due to low temperature, high humidity and low temperature environment, frost damage is easily caused. Therefore, the frequency of watering should be reduced in winter, and water should be applied only when the soil surface is dry to avoid freezing of the roots. 4. Fertilization strategy Considering that the flowering period of trumpet creeper is long, its nutritional requirements are relatively high, especially during the flowering period. However, in winter, since the plants grow slowly or even enter a dormant state, fertilizing at this time may cause root burns and disrupt their dormant period, thus affecting their flowering period next year. Therefore, fertilization should be avoided in winter to ensure that the plants can safely pass through the dormant period. The above is an introduction to the key points of winter care for trumpet creeper. As long as you take good care of the trumpet creeper in winter, it can give you surprises.
