When the flowers bloom, clusters of pink and purple flowers are fragrant and refreshing, gathering the essence of various flowers and the soul of collective fragrance. It is a precious flower with excellent shape, color, fragrance, and rhythm. Caring for it in early winter, just pay attention to these points, and it will grow stronger and stronger, with green leaves and beautiful flowers, making the whole room fragrant, beautiful and auspicious, and neighbors will grab it!
I. Pay attention to keeping warm and preventing frostbite
Kimbian Ruixiang prefers a warm and slightly humid, well-ventilated growing environment. Its cold resistance is relatively poor. If the temperature is below 5-10 degrees for a long time, its growth will be somewhat hindered, easily causing phenomena such as leaf shedding due to low temperature; if it is below 0-5 degrees for a long time, it is prone to cold damage, affecting flowering, and in severe cases, it may freeze or kill the plant. Therefore, when caring for Kimbian Ruixiang in early winter, special attention should be paid to keeping warm and preventing frostbite. Generally speaking, after the first frost in the north, the outdoor Kimbian Ruixiang should be moved indoors. The room temperature should be kept at 5-8 degrees or higher throughout the winter. If the room temperature cannot be reached, a transparent plastic bag can be placed over the plant to keep warm. Alternatively, a small greenhouse can be built to create a suitable microclimate environment.
II. Get plenty of sun
Although Kimbian Ruixiang is not strict with light requirements, if it lacks light for a long time, it can easily cause phenomena such as vines growing, weak leaves, dull leaf color, and few flowers. Moreover, the light is relatively gentle in winter. Appropriate sunbathing can not only raise the surrounding temperature and enhance the plant's cold resistance but also promote photosynthesis and flower bud differentiation, making the leaf color brighter, more flowers, and fragrant, and also improving the plant's disease resistance, making the plant shape more compact and beautiful, and the growth stronger. Therefore, when caring for Kimbian Ruixiang in winter, it can be placed in a bright area indoors, preferably with more than 6 hours of sunlight every day.
III. Reduce watering appropriately
The roots of Kimbian Ruixiang are fleshy and do not like overly humid conditions. In addition, the low temperature in winter causes slow evaporation of water and slower growth metabolism of the plant, greatly reducing its water demand. Therefore, in early winter, it is appropriate to reduce the frequency and amount of watering. Normally, water should be applied after the surface of the potting soil dries up, keeping the potting soil slightly moist and avoiding long-term water accumulation in the pot.

And when watering Kimbian Ruixiang in winter, it is best to do so in the sunny morning. Tap water should be left to stand and exposed to sunlight for a day or two before use, and the water temperature should be as close to room temperature as possible. Avoid watering or spraying water on the flowers at night to prevent moisture from evaporating in time and causing leaf rot due to low temperature and humidity. If the air inside is relatively dry, a slightly warm clear water can be sprayed on the leaves and around the plant in the sunny morning to maintain a certain humidity.
IV. No fertilization in low temperature
Kimbian Ruixiang does not like heavy fertilization. In its growing season, as long as the temperature is suitable, it can be fertilized once a month with a thin compound liquid fertilizer. Before and after flowering, it can be fertilized 1-2 times with a thin phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote more flowering and improve flowering quality, and also enhance the plant's resistance and cold resistance. However, when the temperature is below 15 degrees in winter, all fertilization should be stopped to avoid causing fertilizer damage, such as root burning and seedling burning.
In addition, when it is relatively warm at noon on sunny days, the windows should be opened appropriately to enhance the circulation of indoor and outdoor air, reduce the growth of germs, and promote the plant's respiration and metabolism. Also, pay attention to regularly rotate the flowerpot to ensure even exposure to light and more uniform growth.
