Reasonable watering, control of lighting, proper pruning, maintenance of suitable temperature, fertilization management, and prevention of diseases and pests. As winter approaches, temperatures gradually decrease, and for many green plants, winter care becomes a time of testing for maintainers' patience and skills. As a common potted plant, the Nan Yang杉 is loved by many gardening enthusiasts due to its cold resistance. How should we care for potted Nan Yang杉 in the cold winter? Here are some practical winter care tips.Reasonable watering: Winter is a slow growth period for Nan Yang杉, and the rate of water evaporation slows down, so watering should be moderate, keeping the soil slightly moist. Specifically, before watering, check the dryness of the soil. If the surface of the soil is dry, then proceed with watering. When watering, avoid splashing water on the leaves to prevent leaf rot.Control of lighting: Nan Yang杉 has relatively low requirements for lighting in winter, so the potted plant should be placed in a location with sufficient diffused light indoors. Avoid placing Nan Yang杉 in direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. If indoor lighting is insufficient, artificial light sources can be used to supplement the light.Proper pruning: Winter is a good time for pruning Nan Yang杉. Proper pruning can promote plant growth and maintain a good shape. When pruning, remove diseased, weak, intersecting, and dense branches to keep the plant ventilated and well-lit. After pruning, use a gardening scissor to disinfect the wounds to prevent the invasion of pathogens.Maintenance of suitable temperature: The suitable growth temperature for Nan Yang杉 is between 15℃ and 25℃. Since indoor temperatures are lower in winter, it is important to keep warm. If the indoor temperature is too low, the following measures can be taken: use heating devices such as radiators or electric blankets to increase the room temperature; place the potted plant near a radiator; and appropriately increase indoor humidity to prevent the air from being too dry.Fertilization management: The growth rate of Nan Yang杉 is slow in winter, and the demand for fertilizer is reduced. Winter fertilization should be moderate. A low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer can be chosen, and applied once a month. When fertilizing, be careful not to let the fertilizer come into contact with the leaves to avoid burning them.Prevention of diseases and pests: Winter is a high-incidence period for diseases and pests. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention of diseases and pests in Nan Yang杉. Regularly inspect the plants, and promptly deal with any diseases or pests found. Biological pesticides or chemical pesticides can be used for control, but attention should be paid to the selection and application methods of the pesticides to avoid harm to the environment and human health.Caring for potted Nan Yang杉 in winter requires mastery of knowledge in aspects such as reasonable watering, lighting, pruning, temperature, fertilization, and prevention of diseases and pests. Only with comprehensive and detailed care can Nan Yang杉 safely pass through the cold winter while maintaining vitality. It is hoped that the above tips will be helpful to gardening enthusiasts.
