As winter approaches, temperatures gradually drop, and succulents also enter a slow growth period. For succulent enthusiasts, caring for the succulent Mingyue in winter becomes an important task. Proper care methods can not only help Mingyue safely survive the cold winter but also ensure its vigorous growth the following year. This article will introduce the detailed care methods for Mingyue in winter.

Light Management

In winter, the daylight hours are shorter, and the intensity of sunlight is weaker. Mingyue needs to reduce the duration of sunlight exposure. Place Mingyue in a bright indoor area, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. You can adjust the placement to ensure Mingyue receives uniform scattered light.

Temperature Control

The temperature in winter is relatively low, and Mingyue is sensitive to temperature. The winter temperature should be maintained above 5℃, with the most suitable growth temperature being between 10℃ and 20℃. If the indoor temperature is too low, place Mingyue near the heater, but avoid placing it too close to the heat source to prevent leaf damage from heat.

Watering Management

In winter, Mingyue's water requirement decreases, and the watering frequency should be reduced accordingly. Generally, watering once every 10-15 days is sufficient. When watering, ensure the soil is completely dry before watering to avoid soil moisture leading to root rot. It is best to water in the middle of the day when the temperature is higher, which helps with water evaporation.

Fertilizing Management

Mingyue grows slowly in winter and its demand for fertilizer decreases. Fertilizing can be paused during this time to avoid waste. Resume fertilizing gradually when the temperature rises in spring.

Pest and Disease Control

Mingyue is prone to pest and disease infections in winter. Regularly check the plants and deal with any pests or diseases promptly. The following measures can be taken for prevention and control:

1. Clean the care environment and maintain good ventilation.

2. Regularly spray insecticides to prevent pests and diseases.

3. When pests or diseases are found, promptly cut off the diseased, insect-infested, and withered leaves and burn them.

Pruning Management

Mingyue can undergo appropriate pruning in winter to promote plant growth. When pruning, be sure to retain healthy leaves and branches and avoid damaging the plant.

Caring for Mingyue in winter requires careful attention and a reasonable adjustment of light, temperature, watering, and fertilizing. Mastering the correct care methods can help Mingyue safely survive the cold winter and greet the arrival of spring. I hope this article can provide assistance to many succulent enthusiasts and wish your Mingyue healthy growth!
