How to Care for Michelia Flowers in Winter
Main Content Introduction: This article discusses the knowledge of caring for Michelia flowers in winter and the key points for their winter maintenance, with the following details:
There is a kind of flower that, when blooming, resembles tiny grains of rice with a fragrant aroma similar to orchids. Friends call it Michelia because of its charming, delicate appearance. Many people enjoy keeping a pot of Michelia at home.
However, caring for Michelia in winter is not an easy task. What precautions should we take to ensure that Michelia can survive the winter safely? Let's discuss this with Xiao Hua!
I. Temperature
Cold environments are not favored by Michelia. If the temperature drops below 9 degrees Celsius in winter, Michelia can easily get frostbite. Therefore, it's important to move Michelia indoors before the first frost. A few days before moving it inside, it's best to place Michelia near a sunny ventilated area to let it acclimate to the new environment. Once it has gradually adapted to the indoor environment, you can move it inside.
After moving Michelia indoors, maintain the indoor temperature between 15 to 23 degrees Celsius. If the indoor temperature is too high, Michelia will sprout new branches, disrupting its growth cycle, and it may easily die when moved outside. If the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, it can easily get frostbite. Many people have moved their Michelia indoors in winter, but the plants still inexplicably withered and died. This is actually caused by unstable indoor temperatures.

II. Ventilation
Many friends place Michelia on the windowsill for ventilation when they move it indoors, often opening the windows for a long time, which can easily cause Michelia to get frostbite.加之寒风刺骨,很容易让米兰花枝条水分流失过快，一冷一热，就很容易导致米兰花的死亡，所以在冬天将米兰花搬回室内的时候，一定不要放在通风口，养护的时候要保持室内温度的稳定，这样才能让米兰花安全过冬哦！
III. Watering
Michelia does not like cold environments, so warm environments are definitely preferred. In addition to warm conditions, it also likes a humid environment. At this point, some friends may find Michelia a bit picky! However, we reduce the frequency of watering in winter because its growth rate is slow and doesn't require excessive water. But we can't neglect to water it entirely!
If Michelia lacks water, its leaves will lose their luster. Therefore, we can use a spray bottle with warm water to occasionally spray its leaves and the surrounding area, maintaining the humidity of the air. This not only prevents Michelia from lacking water but also keeps its leaves shiny, ensuring the plant remains in good condition.
By paying attention to these three aspects when caring for Michelia in winter, you can ensure its safe survival and faster growth in the spring, with a pot full of tiny rice-like flowers.
