As the temperature gradually drops, succulents also usher in the initial stage of winter care. For succulent enthusiasts, Dongyun, as a highly ornamental variety of succulents, its initial winter care is particularly important. Let's delve into the detailed methods of Dongyun's winter care to help your beloved pet spend a warm and safe winter.

Lighting Management

In the early winter, the duration of daylight gradually shortens, and the intensity of sunlight weakens. For Dongyun succulents, it is appropriate to reduce the duration of sunlight exposure at this time to avoid strong direct sunlight. Dongyun can be placed in a bright indoor area, away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. Maintaining indoor ventilation helps Dongyun adapt to the changes in the winter environment.

Watering Management

In the early winter, the watering frequency of Dongyun succulents should be appropriately reduced. Due to the lower temperature, the evaporation rate of water slows down, so the interval between watering can be appropriately extended. Generally, watering once every 10-15 days is sufficient. When watering, ensure that the soil is completely moist but avoid waterlogging. If the soil is too dry, water should be supplemented promptly.

Temperature Control

Dongyun succulents have a strong adaptability to temperature, but it is still necessary to pay attention to temperature control in the early winter. The indoor temperature should be maintained between 10-20°C to avoid frostbite caused by low temperatures. If the indoor temperature is too low, the following measures can be taken:

1. Use a heater or electric warmer to increase the indoor temperature;

2. Place Dongyun near the heater;

3. Use an insulating cover to provide additional insulation for Dongyun.

Fertilizing Management

In the early winter, the growth rate of Dongyun succulents slows down, and the frequency of fertilizing should be reduced. Generally, applying fertilizer once every 20-30 days is sufficient. When fertilizing, a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer can be chosen to promote the root development and flowering of Dongyun.

Pest and Disease Control

In the early winter, the occurrence of pests and diseases in Dongyun succulents is relatively low, but the following points should still be noted:

1. Regularly check the leaves of Dongyun and deal with any pests or diseases promptly;

2. Maintain indoor ventilation to reduce the probability of pests and diseases;

3. Regularly clean the maintenance tools to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.

Caring for Dongyun succulents in the early winter requires attention to lighting, watering, temperature, fertilizing, and pest and disease control. Through reasonable care measures, you can help your Dongyun spend a warm and safe winter. In this process, it is important to pay attention to authoritative industry reports and third-party comments, learn from the successful experiences of others, and provide a better growing environment for our succulents. With careful nurturing, your Dongyun succulent will surely thrive and bloom beautiful flowers.
