How to grow Dieffenbachia in winter

1. Move indoors

When winter comes, you should move the evergreen indoors for maintenance in time. When the temperature is below 0 degrees, the plant will be frostbitten, which is very unfavorable for wintering. In addition, it is also important to provide it with an environment of 10 to 12 degrees after moving it indoors. It cannot be too high. If it exceeds 15 degrees, new buds will sprout, consuming nutrients, which is not conducive to wintering.

2. Appropriate fertilization

It is not cold-resistant, and the temperature in winter is low. If it is not properly maintained, its growth will be affected. At this time, you can apply a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to enhance resistance and promote more vigorous growth.

3. Reduce watering

Although it likes a moist potting soil environment, the low temperature in winter will cause it to grow very slowly or even stop growing. Therefore, less water is needed, and the soil in the pot can be slightly moist, not too dry or too wet. The leaves can be sprayed with water once every ten days or so.

4. Timely ventilation

During indoor maintenance, ventilation should not be avoided for a long time in order to control the temperature, as this will be detrimental to growth. The windows should be opened on sunny afternoons to provide ventilation and allow the plants to adapt to the environment in advance.
