Many flower enthusiasts are attracted by the appearance of the betta vine flowers similar to little bettas, and the price is not expensive, about ten dollars for a pot. However, it is challenging to keep them alive during the winter, as many are unsure of how to care for betta vines in cold weather.
Some flower enthusiasts ask if betta vines will freeze to death in winter.
I can responsibly say that if the temperature is consistently below 5°C, it is quite normal for betta vines to freeze to death.
The reason I mentioned the possibility of betta vines freezing to death first is to give flower enthusiasts a sense of the minimum temperature. The betta vine's original habitat, Costa Rica and Panama, do not have very cold weather, with the average annual temperature in Costa Rica being around 15°C. Panama is even warmer.
Although betta vines have been popularized for a long time, they still have poor cold resistance. When the environmental temperature reaches 10°C, they show signs of low temperature stress, such as dropping leaves and leaves turning yellow. Therefore, the first element in winter care for betta vines is temperature.
In an environment where the temperature can reach about 20°C (such as indoor areas in the north with heating), they can be cared for normally. You just need to reduce watering and fertilizing slightly and expose them to more sunlight. If the indoor temperature is high and dry, more watering is also necessary, and watering should be flexible.
In regions like the Yangtze River Delta, where the winter temperature is only around 10-15°C, you need to control the water more, expose them to more sunlight, and avoid fertilizing.
In environments where the temperature can drop to freezing, if you want the betta vines to survive the winter, you will need to find a way to raise the temperature of their environment.
This concludes the content on how to care for betta vines in winter. I hope it helps you, and I also hope everyone comes to read more about green plant and flower care tips!
