Is There Hope for the Frostbitten Plant Tangyin?
Today's tip on life involves the experience of growing the frostbitten Tangyin plant. Let's delve into this together.
Is There Hope for the Frostbitten Plant Tangyin?
Thin-leaved varieties such as sorceress, Tangyin, jade butterfly, mountain rose, and golden branch and jade leaf will indeed become droopy and soft after being frostbitten at low temperatures. Moreover, thin-leaved succulents are not as drought-resistant as the fleshy varieties, and their leaves will also droop due to dehydration if there is a lack of water for an extended period. As long as the temperature does not drop below 5℃ during winter, succulents will not be frostbitten.
Reasons for the Drooping and Softness of Tangyin Leaves in Winter
Today, a plant enthusiast asked Teacher Tang: The outer leaves of my succulent Tangyin are drooping. Is it a bit frozen, and can it recover?
Tangyin is a summer planting succulent variety that is heat-tolerant and frost-sensitive, making it relatively easy to care for in summer. However, we need to be more careful in winter, as it is easy to cause frostbite.
Especially for those enthusiasts who have not fully turned the leaves of Tangyin red and追求 the ultimate.
Because Tangyin can only withstand low temperatures of about 3℃ in an open environment, and that's when the potting soil is dry. If the temperature drops further, its leaves may be frostbitten at any time. So, what should we do if Tangyin is frostbitten?
⑴ Low Temperature Frostbite:After entering winter, if the daytime environmental temperature in your area has dropped below 5℃, in addition to moderate watering and keeping the potting soil dry, you should also pay attention to frost prevention at night. Compared to obvious rain and snow, night frost is more likely to damage succulents.
Especially for thin-leaved varieties like sorceress, Tangyin, jade butterfly, mountain rose, and golden branch and jade leaf, the leaves will indeed become droopy and soft after low-temperature frostbite.
Solution:
After Tangyin is frostbitten, it can only avoid direct sunlight and be moved to a warm environment of about 10℃ to recover naturally. As long as the leaf heart is not frostbitten, there is no major issue. The frostbitten leaves will naturally dry up and fall off or be slowly consumed as the plant grows.
If it looks unattractive, you can also cut the top off in the spring when the weather warms up.
⑵ Water Imbalance:In winter, succulents grow slowly or tend to stop growing, so watering should be moderate. Excessive moisture and积水 can easily cause root rot, while prolonged lack of watering can lead to leaf dehydration.
Many plant enthusiasts worry about Tangyin fading, stretching, or being frostbitten, so they tend to not water it at all. However, thin-leaved succulents are not as drought-resistant as the fleshy varieties, and their leaves will also droop due to dehydration if there is a lack of water for an extended period.
Especially in the northern indoor heating environment, the air is very dry and the temperature can reach about 18℃, allowing Tangyin to grow normally. Basic survival water should still be provided.
Solution:
As long as the environmental temperature does not drop below 5℃ in winter, succulents will not be frostbitten.
Although they are in a state of semi-dormancy or growth stagnation, you can still water moderately when the potting soil is completely dry and the leaves show slight wrinkling. Just make sure to maintain good ventilation after watering and avoid积水 in the pot.
