Which cold-tolerant plants are suitable for indoor cultivation?
You may not be aware of the cold-tolerant plants suitable for indoor cultivation and the topic of recommended flowers and plants for home care. Let's explore this together below.
Winters in the north are extremely cold, with temperatures often dropping to below 10 degrees Celsius, even reaching minus 20 degrees, which is particularly harsh. Even when indoors, the heating may not always be sufficient, and some places may not have heating at all. However, even without heating, indoor temperatures rarely drop below 0 degrees Celsius, as people cannot tolerate such low temperatures. Generally, the lowest indoor temperature is around 5 degrees, and during the day, with sunlight, the temperature can be quite high. So, what flowers should we cultivate in the cold north to ensure they are not damaged by frost?
Actually, there are many plants that can withstand freezing temperatures and even bloom. The first one is the China rose, which can endure temperatures as low as minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. Only if the temperature remains below 15 degrees for an extended period will its leaves completely fall off. Therefore, the China rose is very suitable for indoor cultivation. If the temperature can be maintained above freezing and it receives ample sunlight, it can grow and bloom normally. Moreover, indoor low temperatures make it less prone to pests. We only need to ensure regular watering and occasionally use some fertilizer for it to grow and bloom normally.
The second one is the hellebore, which has become quite popular in recent years. It is extremely cold-tolerant, and its leaves can remain green even if the temperature drops below freezing. Thus, keeping a pot of hellebore indoors and placing it in a well-lit area will not cause any issues. Fertilize it once or twice a month and water it preferably in the afternoon. As long as the potting soil does not freeze, the leaves will remain lush and it will bloom.
The third one is the bergenia, which is the most cold-tolerant plant. Even at low temperatures, its leaves maintain their color and do not wither. Known as the "color palette of the garden," it comes in many varieties with different leaf colors. If you enjoy growing flowers, you can cultivate several pots of bergenia, as they are drought-tolerant and easy to care for.
The fourth one is the French jasmine, which has also become popular in recent years. It is very cold-tolerant, and its flower buds are already differentiated by autumn. If the indoor temperature does not drop below 0 degrees, it can be kept indoors with its leaves remaining green and growing slowly, gradually blooming all its flowers. Each branch produces a large number of flowers, and each flower's blooming period can last about half a month. Thus, keeping a pot of French jasmine ensures continuous blooming throughout winter. The small yellow flowers are very beautiful.
In fact, most flowers can be cultivated indoors during winter when temperatures are not very high, such as camellias, windmill jasmine, begonias, wintersweet, and many others, including our long-lived flowers. They may grow more slowly, but as long as there are no issues, they can be cultivated even in the cold indoors. If you enjoy growing flowers, don't hesitate and buy a few pots to enjoy their blooming indoors.
