In winter, the weather is cold, and succulents may have various problems, such as rotting or softening. Therefore, it is necessary to create a good living environment for succulents so that they can survive the winter healthily. The watering frequency is different at different temperatures. When it's about 5 degrees Celsius, stop watering and place it in the sunniest area, and you can also make a small greenhouse with a plastic bottle.
Once winter comes, many people can't wait to find a safe place for their succulents to avoid damage from the severe cold.
Because some of our succulents look pink and tender, although they need to endure some day and night temperature differences, if the temperature difference is too large or the temperature is too cold, succulents will indeed have various problems, such as rotting or softening.
Some flower friends find that their succulents look weak in winter, far from the vigorous state during spring and summer. Therefore, we must create a good living environment for succulents at this stage so that they can survive the winter healthily.
So how exactly should we do it? The editor has summarized some experiences of succulent enthusiasts in winter maintenance, and today we will learn together.
I. Watering
Watering succulents in winter is a very knowledgeable task, for example, the watering frequency is very different at different temperatures.
Generally speaking, when it's below 10 degrees Celsius in winter, we will put the succulents indoors for maintenance, but this also depends on the specific temperature at home.
Although the indoors is warmer than outdoors, we still cannot water according to the daily frequency of spring and autumn. For example, if the temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius, we can water according to the previous frequency.

But if the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius or even around 5 degrees Celsius, then the watering should not be excessive because some succulents have already entered dormancy at this temperature.
So, to keep the entire plant healthy throughout winter, a little water can be added next to it, but only when the potting soil is completely dry.
If the potting soil is still moist, do not water anymore, otherwise the roots may rot, and the leaves may become rotten and soft.
II. Sunlight
Many flower friends know that succulents can show better conditions and growth when kept outdoors, but it's not that easy to continue this maintenance technique in winter.
After all, the weather outside is quite cold in winter, and if kept outdoors, it may easily freeze, leading to rotting and softening. Therefore, if you see that the outdoor temperature has dropped to below 10 degrees Celsius, quickly bring it indoors for maintenance.
Also, note that when placing it indoors, put it in the sunniest area to increase the temperature and improve its growth.
If there is no insulation box, you can find a large transparent beverage bottle, cut off the upper half, invert it, and place it directly over the succulent plant. This creates an artificial small greenhouse, which can prevent cold damage and help it survive the winter smoothly.
