As the temperature gradually drops, more and more people are starting to pay attention to how to help their houseplants get through a safe and warm winter. For Cyclamen, which are plants that prefer warmth, it requires even more of our care and attention. In this cold winter, how can we ensure they overwinter safely?
I. How to choose an overwintering location?
When choosing an overwintering location, avoid direct contact with windows or doorways, as those areas are more susceptible to cold drafts. It is best to choose an indoor corner with a stable temperature and plenty of sunlight.
II. How to adjust watering frequency?
In winter, the indoor environment is relatively dry. Avoid overwatering or underwatering. It is best to increase the frequency of watering appropriately according to the soil's moisture level to keep the soil moist.
III. How to control the temperature?
When the temperature is low at night, you can use an electric heater or a humidifier to raise the indoor temperature, but be careful not to let the temperature get too high or too low.
IV. How to prevent gray mold?
Winter is a high-incidence period for gray mold in cyclamen. Pay attention to maintaining good indoor ventilation and avoid having the plant's leaves too densely packed.
V. How to avoid pests?
The indoor humidity in winter can increase the chances of aphids and spider mites breeding. Check the leaves promptly and take appropriate measures.
VI. How to prune?
During the overwintering period, cyclamen grow slowly. You can appropriately prune some poorly growing branches and leaves to promote new shoot growth.
VII. How to maintain nutrients?
The nutrient supply gradually decreases in winter. You can supplement with organic fertilizer or nutrient solution, but also be careful not to over-fertilize.
VIII. How to prevent injury?
When placing cyclamen at home, avoid contact with high-traffic areas or pets to prevent accidental damage.
Through the measures above, I believe everyone now understands how to help their cyclamen get through a safe and warm winter. I hope you can read this carefully and apply it in your actual practices. Let's create a good growing environment for our cyclamen together!
