How to Overwinter Cockscomb

How to Overwinter Cockscomb

1. Block the cold wind

If you grow cockscombs outdoors in winter, you should cover them with a plastic film when the cold wind blows, or simply cover the plants with a plastic bag. After putting it on, tie the vent at the bottom tightly to provide good warmth retention.

2. Watering in moderation

The temperature is very low at this time, so watering should be done sparingly. Too much water will cause the roots of the flowers to rot. Its growth rate is very slow in winter and it does not need much water. If it is too humid, it will have difficulty surviving the winter.

3. Ensure lighting

The sunlight during the winter is not very weak, so try to place it in a sunny place so that it can receive more sunlight. All-day sunlight is also fine, which is conducive to its better wintering. Generally speaking, it needs at least 4 hours of sunlight per day.

4. Suspend fertilization

You should stop fertilizing in winter. Usually, applying fertilizer once before the beginning of winter can help it survive the winter better and also keep out the cold. During the wintering period, be sure to stop fertilizing. If you continue to fertilize normally when the plants stop growing, fertilizer accumulation will occur.
