How to survive the winter of Vitex nigra bonsai

1. Move indoors

The Huangjing bonsai should be brought indoors as much as possible during the winter. The outdoor temperature in general areas is very low. If it is not moved indoors, it may be frostbitten. If you have floor heating at home, you need to place it in a high place. If you place it directly on the ground, the heat emitted by the heater will cause dryness.

2. Pay attention to ventilation

Although it is relatively warm indoors, it cannot be without ventilation. If the plants are kept in the house all day, the chances of being attacked by diseases and insects will increase. Therefore, it is necessary to open the windows more often at noon on sunny days in winter to ensure sufficient indoor air circulation.

3. Proper watering

In the cold winter, you must control the amount of watering. Do not leave it without watering for the entire winter, and do not water it too much. Basically, just water it thoroughly every time. In addition, special attention should be paid to the water temperature. Some flower lovers will water the plants with warm water to prevent them from freezing. This is a wrong practice. Water at room temperature can be used.

4. Outdoor Insulation

If the bonsai cannot be brought indoors, you need to cover it with a large plastic bag, which will act like a heat preservation shed and will not be easily frozen.
