How does crabapple survive the winter? Do they shed their leaves in winter?

1. Wintering Methods

1. Temperature: Begonia has poor cold resistance, so it is important to adjust the temperature to a suitable range during the winter. During winter maintenance, the temperature should not be lower than 5℃. It is best if the temperature can be adjusted above 10℃. If you cannot raise the temperature any further, you can wrap the potted plants in a plastic bag and then open it to let in some air at noon.

2. Light: It naturally likes sunlight very much, and the sunlight in winter is very weak. Even if you leave it in the sun all day, it will not be sunburned. It should be exposed to more sunlight during the winter. If it is not exposed to enough light, it will more or less affect its wintering and later growth.

3. Water: Begonias will go dormant in winter, so you don’t need to water them much at this time. Generally, you should keep the soil slightly dry. It is better to keep the soil a little dry than too wet. In winter, avoid watering in the morning and evening because the temperature is low in the morning and evening, and watering at this time will easily stimulate its root system.

2. Whether the leaves fall

In winter, the crabapple will shed its leaves. Winters are very cold in most places, and when the temperature is low, its leaves will fall off. But don't worry too much, this is a normal phenomenon. At this time, you just need to pay attention to keeping warm to avoid freezing the plants.
