How to grow wintersweet

1. Maintenance methods

1. Watering: The plant is very afraid of waterlogging, so the water should not be too sufficient. If the amount of water is too much, the growth of the plant will be affected. You should wait until the soil is dry before watering. It is better to keep it in a slightly dry state. You can water it a little more in summer.

2. Pruning: It has a strong germination ability and needs to be pruned in time to help the plant sprout new branches. It is usually done after the flowers have faded, and all dense branches, dead branches, crossing branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches are cut off. If you don't prune them in time, they will deplete the nutrients in the soil.

3. Temperature: Wintersweet likes sunlight, has a certain tolerance to shade, and is not afraid of cold. Therefore, the minimum breeding temperature cannot be lower than -15℃. For general family breeding, they can also be maintained outdoors in winter. However, the temperature during the flowering period should not be lower than -10℃, otherwise the flowers will be frozen.

2. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Wintersweets are rarely attacked by diseases and insects, but you still need to take more precautions in your daily life. The growing environment should be well ventilated and have bright light. If the plant is attacked by pests and diseases, it is necessary to use drugs to prevent and control it in time. When the number of insects is small, they can be captured and killed manually.
