These 6 kinds of flowers are extremely afraid of the cold.
Let's understand the related experience of planting these 6 kinds of cold-sensitive flowers together.
The most talked about topic in the past two days has been that Zhejiang is going to have snow, and as a result, this picture has been sweeping through my social circle today.
For the friends in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, snow is something to look forward to, as they have been envious of the snowy scenery in Northeast China for a long time.
However, for those who like to grow flowers, it's a mixed feeling of joy and worry.
When the last cold wave arrived, more than ten pots of hibiscus were frozen to death. Without a closed balcony or a sunroom, flower lovers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai can only rely on their strong arms to move the plants around, and there seems to be no better way to protect the flowers. But don't think that only outdoor flowers will be frozen; indoor flowers without insulation measures can also be frozen to death!
Especially these 8 kinds of super cold-sensitive potted plants, they must be well protected in winter, or by spring, there may only be pots left.
1. Golden Pothos
Golden Pothos is a plant that loves warmth. It is easy to care for in summer, but not so easy in winter. Once the temperature drops, it will have large areas of yellow leaves, soft branches and leaves, and can easily be frozen to death if not careful.
These 6 kinds of flowers are extremely afraid of the cold.
Tips for Overwintering
In winter, golden pothos can be placed on a warm south-facing balcony, covered with a plastic bag at night for insulation, keeping the potting soil slightly dry, and watered once a month.
2. Succulents
Many succulents are not cold-resistant because their leaves contain a lot of water, and when the temperature is below 0 degrees, they can easily turn to water.
Tips for Overwintering
In areas without heating, succulents can be placed in a polystyrene box at night for insulation and taken out during the day. You can also keep them in a polystyrene box and cover the top with a plastic film, so there's no need to take them in and out.
3. Phalaenopsis
Phalaenopsis is also not cold-resistant. It needs to maintain a temperature of 15°C in winter, and if the temperature is too low, it can easily turn yellow leaves or even freeze to death.
Tips for Overwintering
It's best to put it in an air-conditioned room. If there's no heating, you can place the pot on a heating pad at night and put it on a warm south-facing balcony during the day.
4. Pennywort
Pennywort is also very prone to turning yellow and withering in the cold winter, and it needs to be kept above 5°C to grow normally.
