Winter Flower Frost Protection Tips
This article introduction: An introduction to green plants and flower frost protection techniques in winter, with specific content as follows:
This winter, our flower enthusiasts start to worry, will my potted flowers freeze to death? How should I keep them warm? Today, let's introduce the management methods and precautions for overwintering potted flowers.
1. Understand the cold resistance of each potted flower
In order for potted flowers to survive the winter without frost damage, we must first understand the cold resistance of the flowers we raise.
There is a significant difference in cold resistance among different flower varieties. For example, most evergreen plants, such as pothos, money tree, and snake plant, are not very cold-resistant, as well as some tropical flowers, such as bougainvillea and michelia.
Some deciduous shrubs have good cold resistance, and some autumn-sown herbaceous flower varieties also have acceptable cold resistance, generally no problem at around minus 5 degrees Celsius.
So we can search for information about the potted varieties we raise on Baidu. If the information indicates that it is not cold-resistant, it is best to keep it above 10 degrees Celsius, at least 5 degrees Celsius, in winter. Most indoor green plants are like this.
For those that indicate a preference for cool climates, a temperature of about minus 5 degrees Celsius is generally not prone to frost damage, but plants with thick leaves or fleshy branches should be protected from frost.
2. Take timely insulation measures for non-cold-resistant flowers
Winter flower frost protection tips
Based on the cold resistance of each potted flower, take appropriate insulation measures, but also pay attention to some details while insulating.
Insulation Method 1: Move into a room/erect an insulating shed
For some potted plants that are grown outdoors but have poor cold resistance, after entering winter, the potted plants can be moved into a room for maintenance, where the temperature is relatively warmer, and the most important thing is to avoid being attacked by the cold wind.
If it is an outdoor plant that cannot be moved indoors, you can set up a recommended insulating plastic shed. For potted plants, you can cover them with a large plastic bag, which can also have a certain insulating effect.
If the temperature is very low, you also need to cover or tie with straw, cotton cloth, etc., for insulation.
2. Maintain sufficient lighting
