Is the初恋 succulent afraid of the cold in winter?
The初恋 succulent is native to South Africa and belongs to temperate region plants, having strong cold resistance. In winter, the初恋 succulent is generally not severely affected by the cold. In low temperatures, the growth rate of the初恋 succulent will slow down, or even enter a dormant state. When caring for初恋 succulents in winter, we need to take some measures to ensure they can survive the winter safely.
Tips for caring for初恋 succulents in winter
1. Appropriate temperature reduction
When the temperature is below 5°C, the初恋 succulent is prone to frost damage. In winter, you can place the初恋 succulent indoors or in a place with ample sunlight to maintain a temperature above 5°C. If the indoor temperature is low, you can use devices like electric heaters to warm up.
2. Control watering frequency
In winter, the growth rate of the初恋 succulent slows down, and its water demand also decreases accordingly. Reduce the watering frequency to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering. Generally, watering once every 15-20 days is sufficient.
3. Maintain good soil drainage
In winter, the初恋 succulent's water demand decreases, but the soil drainage should be good to avoid waterlogging. You can place some permeable stones at the bottom of the pot to improve soil drainage.
4. Sufficient lighting
In winter, sunlight is scarce, and the初恋 succulent needs ample light to maintain growth. You can place the初恋 succulent in a well-lit indoor area or use artificial lighting devices.
5. Pay attention to pest and disease control
In winter, the初恋 succulent is susceptible to pest and disease attacks. Keep the plant clean, inspect it regularly, and deal with pests and diseases promptly.
Although the初恋 succulent has strong cold resistance, it still needs attention in winter. By following the above methods, you can effectively help the初恋 succulent survive the cold winter. Let's cherish these lovely succulents and help them thrive even in winter.
