Can plants survive after freezing?
No.
In the north, flower cultivation faces a serious issue during the autumn and winter seasons, which is the drop in temperature. North of the Yangtze River, the nighttime temperature usually drops below 0 degrees Celsius by December. Low temperatures are fatal to plants. If the warming measures are not adequate, plants may suffer frostbite, and in severe cases, they can be frozen to death.
Any type of plant fears low temperatures the most. Some plants can withstand being exposed to the scorching sun in summer without significant issues, but if placed in a low-temperature environment, they can be thoroughly frozen overnight. Most horticultural flowers are not resistant to low temperatures, and when the temperature drops to around 5 degrees Celsius, plants show poor conditions.
Many areas in the north, especially rural areas, do not have heating. The only heating measure is a stove, and the temperature it maintains is not constant. Near the window glass at night, the temperature is still very low. Every winter, countless flower enthusiasts find their plants frozen on the windowsill.
Can plants survive after freezing?Most plants can withstand temperatures around 2 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops to 0 degrees and stays that way for a night, the plants basically have no chance of survival and will be frozen to death, including succulents, which are even less frost-resistant due to the high water content stored in their bodies, increasing the likelihood of freezing to death.
As for the plants in our homes that have been frozen, is there any possibility of saving them? Basically, there is no possibility. The leaves of frozen plants will naturally fall off, and the main stems will become soft. In such cases, it's best to pull the plant out of the soil and discard it, while the potting soil can still be used.
Every winter, countless plants are frozen to death, including some greenhouses in the north. Even in greenhouses, plants can still be frozen at night because there is no sunlight, and the greenhouses cannot keep warm, leaving the plants with no choice but to freeze to death.
