What to do if flowers are frozen
Today, I will introduce knowledge about home gardening, specifically what to do if flowers are frozen. Let's move on to the introduction by the editor of this site.
In some places, the temperature is not cold for most of the winter, but an occasional cold wave can damage flowers left outside. So, what should you do if flowers are frozen? Actually, the method of saving them is not complicated, and it should not be overdone.
First of all, gardening enthusiasts should know that in most cases, frozen plants can be saved, unless the roots are also damaged. No matter what kind of plant it is, if it is frozen, we should move the plant to an environment that is neither cold nor hot, allowing it to thaw naturally and recover. Never move a frozen plant quickly to a warm place, as this may result in the leaves inside becoming watery and then unsalvageable.
The editor has a pot of ornamental onions that has been outside on the balcony, even when the temperature drops to minus 5 degrees Celsius. When changing the water in the fish tank, there was some water left with nowhere to pour, so it was poured into the pot of ornamental onions. The next morning, the potting soil froze, and the leaves were stiff. It was promptly moved into the balcony, and it has now thawed, showing signs of recovery.
The reason for sharing this case with gardening enthusiasts is to tell them that in cold weather during winter, we should water our plants less. This way, the plants have lower water content and higher cold resistance. If plants absorb a lot of water and the weather turns cold, they can freeze directly, which is the most dangerous type of frost damage. Plants with low water content, even if they suffer frost damage, usually only have their leaves damaged, not their vitality.
Also, I have seen gardening enthusiasts ask about how to save other types of frozen plants, such as how to save frozen chrysanthemums, how to save frozen pothos, and even questions about watering frozen plants. The principle of dealing with these situations is actually the same.
Frozen plants should never be moved directly into a warm environment. They should be allowed to naturally transition to a warm environment, such as placing them on the edge of the balcony first, and after thawing, gradually expose them to a warm environment.
All plants should be treated the same way. As for watering, we should not water frozen plants temporarily. Wait until they have fully transitioned to a warm environment. At this point, we check the soil. If the soil is short of water, we add a small amount of water. If it is not short of water, we do not need to water.
