In winter, the cold climate makes many succulent plants face survival challenges. How to protect our succulent plants in this cold season and let them Spend the winter safely? This article will provide you with practical winter maintenance guidelines for succulent plants to help your succulent survive a warm winter. Select suitable varieties In winter, different succulent plants have different adaptability to temperature. When selecting succulent plants, priority should be given to those varieties with strong cold tolerance, such as Crassulaceae, Echinacea, etc., and avoid choosing those varieties with higher temperature requirements, such as Cactus family, Twelve Volume family, etc. Adjust the watering frequency In winter, the growth rate of succulent plants slows down, and the demand for water is also reduced accordingly. The watering frequency should be appropriately reduced to avoid root rot due to excessive watering. Water it once every 10-15 days., when watering, make sure the soil is completely moist, but do not accumulate water. Maintain a suitable temperature. Succulent plants have high temperature requirements in winter and should generally be kept above 5 ° C. When maintaining indoors, succulent plants can be placed close to windows, but direct sunlight should be avoided. If the indoor temperature is too low, you can use electric heating and other equipment to heat it. Appropriately increase light In winter, when sunlight is scarce, the light demand of succulent plants will increase accordingly. Succulent plants can be placed close to windows, but to avoid direct sunlight, plant growth lights can be used to supplement the light. Pay attention to ventilation. In winter, the indoor air is relatively dry, which may easily lead to diseases and insect pests on succulent plants. Pay attention to maintaining indoor ventilation and reducing air humidity. Regularly inspect succulent plants to clean up dead leaves and sick leaves in time to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. Reasonable fertilization In winter, the growth rate of succulent plants slows down and their ability to absorb fertilizers is correspondingly weakened. It is necessary to appropriately reduce the frequency of fertilization to avoid excessive fertilization leading to excessive growth of plants. You can choose some low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus, and high-potassium fertilizers, applied every 20-30 days.
Winter is a critical period for the growth of succulents. Correct maintenance methods can allow them to survive the cold winter safely. I hope this practical guide can help you maintain your succulents and let them bloom beautiful flowers in winter.
