Does the red spider lily like light? How cold can the red spider lily tolerate?

1. Do you like light?

Red spider lily does not like light. This plant is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. If it is kept in a sunny place, the strong light can easily burn the plant, causing it to grow poorly. If the plant is kept in a place that is too dark and does not receive light, it will easily grow too tall, affecting its flowering and it will also easily fall over. Therefore, it should be placed in a bright place for maintenance so that it can receive sufficient scattered light.

2. How cold is it?

Red spider lily has a certain degree of cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as 1°C. If it is a little colder, the plant will easily be frostbitten, affecting its growth. Generally, the average winter temperature must be above 8°C for the plants to survive the winter healthily, so it is necessary to keep them warm. If there is heating indoors, it's fine. If not, you need to put a plastic bag on the upper part of the plant and place it in a sunny place. Just ventilate it at night.

3. Notes

1. How to spend the summer: The temperature is high in summer, and the red spider lily will enter a dormant state. At this time, its growth rate is relatively slow, and its demand for water and nutrients is relatively small, so it does not need frequent watering and fertilization. If the temperature is higher than 30℃, the survival of the plants will be threatened, and the temperature must be lowered immediately. Spray water around appropriately to lower the temperature through water evaporation. At the same time, accelerating air circulation also has the ability to cool down.

2. How to overwinter: Red spider lily has a certain degree of cold resistance, but the low temperature in winter will still inhibit its growth and make it enter a dormant state. Normally, when the temperature is not lower than 1℃, there will be no problem with the growth of the plant, but if it is lower than 1℃, it will be at risk of frostbite. Therefore, be sure to put it in a warm place in winter, or put a plastic bag on it to keep it warm.
