Four plants suitable for northern climates,不怕 cold winters, easy to care for, and continuous blooming
Many people enjoy growing flowers at home, but the temperature in the south is relatively high, with some places feeling like spring all year round. However, in the north, winters can be very cold, making it difficult for many flowers to adapt, and many cannot be grown indoors. In fact, there are many plants that can be cultivated indoors, especially in the north during winter, because even if it's cold outside, indoor temperatures rarely drop below 5 degrees, allowing flowers to grow normally. As long as the temperature is suitable for humans, it's also suitable for plants. Today, I'll introduce several plants that are suitable for indoor cultivation in the north during winter.
The first plant I cultivate the most is Black Bishop because the temperature in my greenhouse can drop to around 0 degrees at night but generally doesn't go below freezing. Black Bishop is quite tolerant to low temperatures. As long as the temperature doesn't drop below 0 degrees for short periods and the temperature gradually rises with sunlight during the day, there won't be a problem. We can water and care for it normally. The first thing to ensure is that it gets plenty of sunlight, and the second is to water it thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Use soil with good breathability. With this care, it grows quickly in winter, and the color of its leaves is very beautiful.
The second plant is the cactus. I initially cultivated cacti on a balcony without heating. I've been taking care of them for several years, and the lowest temperature on this balcony at night can be minus 4 or 5 degrees. So, cacti can be grown, but we must be careful with their care. We should stop watering them around the time of frost, and as long as the body of the cactus is not less than 2 or 3 centimeters, it can safely survive the winter. We should choose a pot with good breathability and soil with good breathability. The pot should be 1 to 2 times larger than the cactus. From the time of frost, don't water it and place it in the sunniest spot. If the temperature drops below zero for a short period but remains above minus 5 degrees, it can safely survive the winter. If you water it, it will definitely suffer frostbite. When spring comes and the temperature rises, the cactus may look a bit shriveled and weak, but it will grow rapidly after watering and produce beautiful flowers.
The third plant is the French Perfume Vine, which is very tolerant to low temperatures. It won't suffer frostbite even at minus 20 degrees. It starts to form flower buds from autumn and, if the temperature is low, it won't grow during winter. When spring arrives, it blooms a lot of flowers with a strong fragrance. However, it is somewhat toxic, so like other plants we cultivate, it's best not to eat it, but touching it with hands or smelling it is fine.

The fourth plant is the Stonecrop. If well cared for, it can bloom all year round. Although it is a herbaceous plant, it produces a large number of flowers and has a relatively small plant size. Therefore, if the temperature at home is low, you can grow a pot of it. Even at minus 10 degrees, its leaves won't freeze. Its care is also very simple. Choose a pot that's not too large, use soil with good breathability, water it thoroughly when the soil is almost dry, and choose fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium and no lack of other elements. Place it in the sunniest spot, and it can grow and bloom all year round. It is a typical plant that can tolerate both high and low temperatures, making it suitable for beginners.
There are many plants suitable for cultivation in the north during winter. Some we know include cherry blossoms, pansies, and heather, which are all suitable for pot cultivation and produce beautiful flowers. If you want to grow something but don't know what to choose, you can follow what I've said for simple care and beautiful blooming.
