Can wintersweet survive sunbathing?
Today, let's delve into the topic of whether wintersweet can survive sunbathing and the cultivation methods of wintersweet and other flowers and plants. Let's find out together.
wintersweet is a type of flower that loves strong sunlight. It thrives when placed in a well-lit area, with good soil, proper fertilizing, and watering. It can continuously grow, with branches blooming continuously as long as the temperature is maintained around 20 degrees Celsius, allowing it to bloom continuously throughout the four seasons. The fragrance is very sweet and pleasant.
Some flower enthusiasts who are new to wintersweet see others saying that it requires full sun exposure, so they directly place it under the sun without considering anything else. They say that wintersweet won't die from sun exposure, but when placed in direct sunlight, the leaves show signs of sunburn. What causes this? How should we expose wintersweet to sunlight?
The wintersweet we keep at home is initially in an environment with low light. If we want it to bloom, we need to expose it to strong sunlight. Some enthusiasts take it from a dark environment and place it directly under the sun, especially in summer. If the light was previously dim and suddenly exposed to intense midday sun, the leaves are bound to get sunburned. This is true for any flower. Sun-loving plants, when suddenly placed in direct sunlight after being in the shade, will inevitably get sunburned. This also applies to plants purchased online, which have been confined in cardboard boxes for several days and then placed in direct sunlight, leading to sunburn.
This requires us to gradually expose it to more sunlight if we want to move it to a well-lit area, rather than placing it directly under the sun in one go. Otherwise, the wintersweet or any plant we are growing may suffer leaf sunburn. We can expose it to a few hours of sunlight before 10 a.m. on the first day, a few hours before 11 a.m. on the second day, and gradually increase the exposure. Within three to a week, we should allow it to fully adapt to the strong sunlight environment, so it won't suffer leaf sunburn, which we call "hardening off." Letting the plant gradually adapt to sunlight exposure will prevent sunburn.
Can wintersweet survive sunbathing in winter?
Another issue is that sometimes the leaves suddenly show signs of sunburn when placed in direct sunlight. What is the reason? The main cause is insufficient watering. wintersweet loves strong sunlight, but this requires sufficient water and healthy leaves. If we don't water it thoroughly and it wilts under strong sunlight, and we don't notice it, when we water it later, it may recover, but the top buds will turn black, the leaves will get sunburned, and some branches may even shrink back. Therefore, taking care of wintersweet requires effort in managing watering. If it lacks water, we should water it thoroughly. Prolonged water deficiency combined with strong sunlight will inevitably cause leaf sunburn and lead to branch shrinkage, or even the death of newly sprouted buds.
wintersweet is indeed very easy to care for. We just need to provide it with sufficient sunlight and proper watering and fertilizing, and it will grow very well. However, some small details must be remembered during the care process, especially regarding sunlight exposure. If we get these two points right, your wintersweet will bloom better when placed in direct sunlight, and the growth of branches and roots will also accelerate.
