With the improvement of living standards, more and more families have started to care for succulents. They are widely loved for their unique aesthetics and low maintenance characteristics. Many people worry that succulents placed near windows will freeze due to the cold weather. Do succulents really fear the cold when placed near windows? This article will reveal the truth about succulents' cold sensitivity and provide practical placement strategies.

Do succulents fear the cold?

We need to clarify that succulents are not particularly afraid of the cold, but their adaptability to temperature is limited. The suitable temperature range for the growth of succulents is between 15°C and 30°C. Within this range, succulents can grow normally. However, if the temperature is too low, especially below 5°C, succulents can suffer from frostbite and even die.

What should be considered when placing succulents near a window?

1. Avoid direct sunlight: Although succulents like sunlight, direct sunlight in winter may cause the temperature near the window to drop too low, leading to freezing of the succulents. When placing succulents, avoid putting them in direct sunlight.

2. Choose a suitable position: The position near the window should avoid direct exposure to the north wind, which is quite cold, and also pay attention to the temperature changes near the window. Choose a warm and well-ventilated position as much as possible.

3. Use insulation measures: In winter, you can take some insulation measures for succulents, such as using insulation film, thermal covers, etc., to reduce temperature fluctuations near the window.

4. Control watering: The water requirement of succulents decreases in winter, so it is necessary to reduce the watering frequency appropriately to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering.

Tips for caring for succulents in winter

1. Maintain indoor temperature: Try to maintain the indoor temperature within the suitable range for succulent growth to prevent freezing of the succulents due to low indoor temperature.

2. Adequate ventilation: The indoor air is dry in winter, and proper ventilation can reduce indoor humidity, which is beneficial for the growth of succulents.

3. Avoid frequent moving: Succulents grow slowly in winter, and frequent moving can affect their growth and even lead to death.

Succulents placed near windows will not freeze due to the cold, but it is necessary to pay attention to insulation measures and a suitable growing environment. By following the above guidelines, I believe you have understood how to keep succulents safe during the winter near the window. I hope this article can be helpful to you on your succulent care journey.
