With the improvement of living standards, raising succulent plants has gradually become a hobby for more and more people. In northern China, the severe cold winter is a huge challenge for succulent plants. How to make succulent plants safely survive the cold winter outdoors? This article will give you a detailed introduction to the techniques for succulent outdoor winter in the north to help your succulent plants survive the cold winter smoothly. Choose cold-resistant varieties When purchasing succulent plants, you should choose cold-resistant varieties, such as Crassulaceae, Lycotheraceae, Cactus, etc. These varieties are easier to spend the winter outdoors in the north. Choose suitable varieties according to local climatic conditions. Adjust the placement position In winter, succulent plants should avoid direct attack by cold wind. When placing, try to choose a leeward and sunny position. If conditions permit, succulent plants can be placed indoors close to windows to accept scattered light. Properly reduce watering. If the temperature is lower in winter, the transpiration of succulent plants will be weakened, and the demand for water will be reduced. The frequency of watering should be appropriately reduced to keep the soil slightly moist. If you water too much, it will easily lead to root rot and affect the growth of succulent plants. Take measures to keep warm. Winter temperatures in the north are low, and succulent plants are prone to freezing damage. In order to prevent freezing damage, the following measures can be taken: 1. Use plastic film: Cover a layer of plastic film around succulent plants, which can effectively prevent cold winds from invading.
2. Build a greenhouse: If conditions permit, a simple greenhouse can be built to provide a warm environment for succulent plants.
3. Use thermal insulation materials: Lay some thermal insulation materials such as straw and cotton wool around succulent plants to provide certain thermal insulation. Strengthen light. In winter, the sunshine is weak, and the photosynthesis of succulent plants is affected. Succulent plants should be allowed to receive scattered light as much as possible to ensure their normal growth. When pruning in time for winter, the growth rate of succulent plants is slow. At this time, yellow leaves and sick branches can be appropriately pruned, which will help plants concentrate nutrients and survive the winter safely.
Outdoor wintering in the north requires us to master certain skills. By selecting cold-resistant varieties, adjusting placement positions, appropriately reducing watering, taking warm measures, strengthening light and timely pruning, we believe that your succulent plants will be able to survive the cold safely.
