With the pace of winter quietly coming, the outdoor temperature continues to drop, the cold wind is biting, and many flower friends have a faint sorrow in their hearts - can their love flowers survive this cold winter? Six species of plants that require a lot of water on weekdays should be "hydrophobic" rather than "hydrophilic" after winter to prevent root rot and wilting. Are you ready to protect your green buddies? First, let's talk about the enchanting desert rose. This plant is as beautiful as nature's darling, and its thick stems and the color of its flowers always catch people's eyes. But you know, behind the beauty of the desert rose, there is its unknown fragility. In winter, this beauty becomes extremely sensitive, and she needs to be transferred to a warm environment because she is not cold-tolerant. And, remember, winter is not a good time for her to water, ten days and a half months of drought is nothing to her, but overwatering, it can become a fatal injury. Next, let's take a look at the noble triangular plum. This guest from the south looked a little overwhelmed by the low temperature of the northern winter. The yellow leaves are falling, as if protesting against this untimely cold.
But that doesn't mean you need to give her more water and nutrients. Instead, in winter, what she needs is a tranquil environment to rest in until spring blossoms. And the azalea, the god of flowers in winter and spring, is always something to look forward to. Her buds, locked in winter, seem to contain the secrets of spring. But if you're not careful, let her home become too wet or too dry, and those buds may never bloom. So, water it carefully so that her home is just the right amount of moisture. Finally, we want to focus on the succulent tree of Yushu. She may look tough, but she needs to be taken care of in the winter. The slightest negligence can cause root rot and wilt her branches and leaves. How can these tragedies be avoided? There are a few important points that need special attention. First and foremost, temperature is key. For these plants, the ambient temperature should be kept above 10°C, otherwise their survival will be threatened. Secondly, the frequency and amount of watering should be greatly reduced, and the potting soil should be thoroughly dried before watering appropriately. In addition, fertilization should also be stopped, and when spring comes, then gradually start replenishing nutrients.
Raising flowers, just like cultivating a relationship, requires care, patience, and more importantly, respect and understanding for plant life. Winter maintenance is both a challenge and a test for flower friends. But if you follow these conservation principles strictly, your flowers will survive this cold winter and usher in a vibrant spring. Winter, although silent, is also full of hope. During this season, the vitality of plants is collected and quietly awaits the arrival of spring. And we, as long as we take care of them, can welcome that spring full of vitality with them. Flower friends, are you ready? Let's start our journey of "less fertilizer and sparse watering" in this winter! With the cycle of the seasons, the autumn wind gradually takes away the heat of summer and dyes a faint chill. For flower lovers, this means not only rolling up your sleeves and getting warm, but also starting a race against time to protect your plants through the cold winter. The first task is to take care of the fragile green partners. Here, I would like to share with you some of my personal secrets in the maintenance of flowers, which may also be helpful to you.
First, let's talk about the jade tree. You know, although the jade tree is an evergreen plant, it cannot avoid growth stagnation at low temperatures. You might say, "Wouldn't it be nice to have stagnant growth, it's a hassle!", but it's not that simple. In order for the jade tree to survive the winter, it is necessary to prune off the messy branches and give it a wintering fertilizer before the cold wind comes. This is so that it has enough nutrients to withstand the cold. Then, move it indoors in time and put it in a warm corner where the sun can shine. That's where the most critical care essentials come in: controlling watering and fertilizing. Throughout the winter, you should keep the potting soil slightly dry, and the watering principle is "see the dry and see the wet", so as to avoid excessive water causing root rot in the low temperature environment. Once the temperature drops below 10°C, the tree will go dormant, and too much water and fertilizer will only harm it. Next, let's talk about the tiger piran, its large leaves are stunningly beautiful, but it is very intolerant. When winter comes, it is easy to suffer from frostbite if you don't pay attention to keeping warm. In fact, the care secrets of tiger pill orchid are quite similar to those of Yushu. Before the frost falls, we move it indoors to a sunny place and strictly control the frequency of watering.
Remember, as long as the potting soil doesn't dry out, you don't need to water it again, let alone fertilize it. As for the tiger thorn plum, this plant known as the iron begonia has beautiful flowers and is relatively simple to maintain. However, in the winter, if you are too generous with water, you are likely to see the leaves turn yellow and the roots rot. Tiger thorn plum loves a warm environment, and the key to winter maintenance is not to let the temperature fall below 10°C, and try to give as much sunlight as possible to enhance its cold resistance. In terms of watering, remember to "dry and then water thoroughly" to prevent root rot. Now, I'm going to tell you the sad news that the temperature will continue to drop. Yes, it will be colder. Therefore, for these flowers at home, you need to consider their cold protection measures in more detail. Every plant has its own unique maintenance needs, and the general rule of winter maintenance is: control watering and stop fertilizing. I would like to remind you that it is important to prepare in advance, such as pruning, fertilizing, and moving, depending on the characteristics of the plant. While we're only talking about winter conservation methods for three plants: Yushu, Tiger Piran, and Tiger Prickly Plum, these principles apply to many other plants as well.
Flowers are the spice of life, and they bring color and vibrancy to our world. Let's take care of these little creatures so that they can maintain their vigorous vitality even in winter. Remember, winter maintenance, while a bit tedious, is key to keeping them alive. So, get moving and get ready for your green babies! When the spring breeze comes again, you'll be grateful for your efforts today.
