How to keep flowers from freezing in winter
Let's talk about the introduction of home flower cultivation, how to keep flowers from freezing in winter, and the specific contents are as follows:
For flower enthusiasts, there are things to pay extra attention to in all seasons. In summer, we worry about them overheating, and in winter, we worry about them freezing. The north is already in winter, and the south is also gradually getting colder. Let's talk about how to keep flowers from freezing in winter.
1. Understand the flowers you are growing
Different flowers have different cold tolerance. Some tropical flowers have poor cold tolerance, not only do we need to work hard on the maintenance methods, but also take some warming measures. If we want our flowers to survive the winter safely, the first step is to understand their habits and treat them accordingly.
2. Objectively understand the flower cultivation environment
In the north, indoor heating can maintain a temperature of about 18℃ or higher, which is advantageous in terms of high temperature but disadvantageous due to dry air. There are also some flower enthusiasts who are in areas without heating but with relatively low winter temperatures, where it can freeze indoors. And then there are the southern flower enthusiasts, whose temperatures can generally be maintained above 0℃, occasionally a bit lower.
3. Maintenance methods
In rooms with heating, it is first necessary to keep the flowers away from radiators and underfloor heating, as the heat wave can cause significant damage to plants. Since the air is dry and the temperature can ensure normal plant growth, water the plants when necessary and maintain normal care. In areas without heating and with very low temperatures, don't think that changing the maintenance method by reducing watering will help them survive the winter. We need to respect reality, so taking保温 measures is very necessary.
In the south, where the temperature is not too low, although the temperature is relatively mild, it is far from the indoor heating in the north. Therefore, we need to control water, increase sunlight, and avoid wind to survive the winter. While winter is not here yet, you can also supplement a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to increase drought resistance.
Areas like Hainan can ignore the above methods.
4. Warming measures
Warm greenhouse: Set up a warm greenhouse in a place with sufficient indoor lighting. This greenhouse doesn't have to be perfect, just cover it with transparent plastic sheeting will do. Flower enthusiasts can flexibly adjust according to their actual situation, and those with conditions can buy ready-made ones. Some flower enthusiasts may ask, can an outdoor greenhouse be used? It depends on the region. If a greenhouse doesn't have heating, it can easily freeze through, so if it's very cold in winter, an outdoor greenhouse isn't practical, which is why I suggest using an indoor one.
The above content on how to keep flowers from freezing in winter is complete. I hope it can help you, and I also hope that everyone comes to see more green plant and flower experience and common sense!
