Temperature management The suitable growth temperature of perilla in winter is 10-20℃. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, the growth of perilla will be seriously affected. When maintaining potted perilla in winter, it should be placed indoors in a warm environment. If the indoor temperature is too low, you can use heating or electric blankets and other equipment to warm up. Light management Perilla requires sufficient light in winter to ensure its normal growth. Place potted perilla in a place with sufficient light indoors, such as balconies, windowsills, etc. If there is insufficient indoor light, use plant growth lights to supplement it. Watering management The growth rate of perilla in winter is slow and the demand for water is relatively low. When watering, the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" should be followed, that is, watering should be carried out after the soil surface is dry. When watering, Avoid splashing water on the leaves to avoid causing them to rot. Fertilization management In winter, perilla requires less fertilizer, so the number of fertilization can be appropriately reduced. In winter, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 20 days to replenish the nutrients needed by plants. When fertilizing, pay attention to the fertilizer concentration to avoid causing fertilizer harm. Pest and insect pest control Winter is a period of high incidence of perilla pests and diseases, such as powdery mildew, leaf spot, etc. In order to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, the following measures can be taken: 1. Maintain indoor ventilation and reduce humidity; 2. Regularly inspect leaves to promptly remove pests and diseases found; 3. Use pesticides for prevention and control, but pay attention to pesticide residues. Pruning management The growth rate of perilla in winter is slow, so pruning can be carried out appropriately to keep the plants neat and beautiful. During pruning, the withered leaves and sick branches can be cut off to promote healthy growth of the plants.
The key to maintaining potted perilla in winter lies in the management of temperature, light, watering, fertilization, pest control and pruning. As long as you master these key points, your perilla will be rejuvenated in the cold winter. I hope this article can help you with perilla maintenance.
