As winter approaches, every corner of the city begins to exude a chilly atmosphere. In the streets, people wrapped their coats tightly and walked faster, as if trying to escape the merciless cold wind. However, in this cold season, there is a group of people whose lives are overlooked by us - they live in rented houses with no heating facilities, and how do they stay alive in the winter?
For many people, flowers and plants are not only the decoration of the home, but also the comfort of the soul. However, winter seems to place higher demands on green life. In this article, we'll take you on a journey through the cold and show you how plants that thrive under cold eaves are cared for.
Cactus, a strong life native to the desert, seems to be alien to the cold. However, did you know that in the winter, cacti are amazingly tolerant of the cold. Its vitality is so tenacious that in the southern winters, its need for water is surprisingly low, even when the warm heating keeps it at bay from the outside cold.
However, if your home is unheated and the temperature drops to shivering levels, you should be careful that the soil must be completely dry to give it water, otherwise too diligent watering will give it a ride. Let's talk about Jasmine again, she is the elf who exudes fragrance in the night. In the south, she can bloom two or three times a year, and each time it can last about two months.
However, in the north, due to the change of cold and warm, jasmine can only bloom once in summer and autumn. Whenever the flowers are in bloom, it needs to be carefully cared for, and the soil should be kept slightly dry so that the flowers can last longer. However, the arrival of winter presents new challenges for jasmine. If you live in a room with heating, then watering every 3 to 7 days is enough, and occasional foliar fertilizer can also promote its flowering.
But if you're living with the cold, remember that you only need to water when the soil is dry. Mastering this degree and soaking it to give water is the right way to take care of the Queen of the Night. Finally, let's take a look at the bamboo, its posture is elegant, and what it needs is constant wetness. If you don't have heating in your room, then Wenzhu's life situation needs more attention.
Bamboo needs to be placed in a warm, well-lit place, and at noon, when the sun is at its strongest, a little water spray will satisfy it. However, if the temperature drops below 10 ° C, then its watering should be stopped so as not to frostbite this delicate guest. In this cold season, raising flowers has become an art, and every detail is related to the life and death of plants.
If you can master these techniques, you can still have a lush green landscape, even in an unheated environment. These green plants will become a warm color in the cold winter, and a vivid story will make you feel the temperature of life in the cold wind. Don't underestimate these details, sometimes, a drop of water can determine the fate of these green partners.
On days when the cold wind is howling, these strong plants are not only the insistence on life, but also the sign and waiting for warmth. In this winter, let's become the guardians of green plants together and feel the warmth and strength that comes from our hearts. Growing plants at home is like having a small natural corner.
Every bonsai is full of life, however, as the seasons change, especially into the cold winter, these little green creatures need to be cared for in different ways. The maintenance of potted plants is far from simple watering and fertilization, their growth and survival are closely related to the season, climate, temperature and humidity.
Today, let's unveil the mystery of winter care for potted plants and discover how to give them the best care in the cold winter days. First of all, the sunflower, a plant that thrives in warm, humid environments, shows dramatic changes in winter. Once the air humidity drops below 40%, its leaves will show a large area of yellow wilting.
When the temperature plummets below 10°C, it even pauses growth and some of its branches and leaves decay. In the face of such a situation, we must adjust the watering Xi in time, master the amount of watering, if the indoor heating is not provided, do not rush to water, do not need to rush to prune the yellow branches and leaves, because at low temperatures, the soil water evaporates slowly, too much water is not conducive to the survival of plants.
Next up is the rubber tree, which is extremely drought tolerant. When spring and autumn are in full bloom, you only need to water two or three times a month. However, winter maintenance is more delicate. When the temperature is below 5°C, we should stop watering categorically, and when the temperature is slightly higher than 5°C, we must wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, and only need to wet the soil lightly each time.
Phnom Penh Ruixiang is even more ingenious, it loves a dry atmosphere, so when maintaining it at home, it only needs to be properly watered after the soil has dried out, so that the soil can be moderately moisturized. Especially in outdoor farming, spring, summer and autumn, it can even be watered without our care.
In winter, we need to pay close attention to the changes in temperature: if the temperature is above 20°C, it is enough to water once every 7 to 10 days, when the temperature drops below 5°C, we should stop watering altogether, and if the temperature is between 5 and 20°C, we can add a small amount of water when the soil is slightly white. This kind of maintenance method does not seem to be complicated, but it actually tests the patience and carefulness of the planters.
Imagine, in winter, when we are curled up in the warm quilt, these little lives quietly placed in the corner also need our care and care. Home farming is more than just watering. In fact, the needs of plants are often at odds with the state of the indoor environment. Therefore, when you find that the environment does not match the needs of the plant, you need to adjust as soon as possible to cater to the plant's preferences.
In this way, we can minimize unnecessary losses and avoid discomfort or even wilting of the plants. However, the premise of all this is that we must understand the characteristics of plants. For example, did you know that plants can also use water to increase air humidity, or use plants' own metabolism to replenish water?
For tap water, don't forget that it must be dried for at least 8 hours in advance, which will remove residual chlorine from the water and reduce potential damage to plants. At the end, each plant has its own unique "little temperament", and we should pay more attention to it in the process of home farming.
Only when we patiently listen to their needs and observe their reactions can we become a qualified "plant parent", so that these green lives can also feel the warmth and care of spring in the cold winter.
