What are the precautions for growing flowers in winter? An analysis of the latest care points
Friends who enjoy plant care all know that winter is the hardest season for growing flowers, because winter temperatures are low, and many flowers cannot adapt to winter growth. A slight lapse in care can kill the plants, which is a headache-inducing matter. So what should be paid attention to when growing flowers in winter? Let's learn about it together with the editor.
1. Do not apply too much fertilizer
Many people like to apply more fertilizer when growing flowers in winter, so that the flowers can absorb more nutrients to keep going, but this is a wrong practice. Winter temperatures are relatively low, and many flowering plants are in a dormant period, with their growth basically stopped. After fertilizing, the fertilizer remains at the bottom of the pot and cannot be absorbed by the flower roots. Excess fertilizer left at the root area can easily burn the roots and cause leaves to drop. Therefore, in autumn and winter, when the temperature is below 10 degrees, there is no need to fertilize, and foliar fertilizer can be used instead of soil fertilization.
2. Do not keep them completely away from light
When growing flowers in winter, because of the fear of low-temperature freeze damage, people often move them indoors for care, which often causes them to get no light, and this can very easily cause the flowers to wither. Therefore, during winter care, attention should be paid to letting the flowers absorb sunlight. In winter, the flowers can be placed on a sunny balcony. Only by absorbing sufficient sunlight can they do better.
⟦NL>3. Do not water frequently
Many people like to water frequently when growing flowers. As soon as they see the potting soil is slightly dry, they water immediately. This habit can make flowers grow very well in summer, but in winter the temperature is very low, so only a small amount of watering is needed, otherwise the flower roots will be frostbitten. In addition, when watering, be sure to check whether there is standing water at the bottom of the pot, and check whether the potting soil has dried out completely. If it has dried out completely, a small amount of watering can be given, and there is no need to worry that the plant will turn yellow and wither from lack of water.
4. Do not let it become too dry
Humidity should also be paid attention to in winter. Many flowers wither precisely because the environment is too dry. Winter temperatures are very low, so everyone moves flowers indoors, and to keep warm, air conditioning is often turned on. Although the temperature is guaranteed, the air is very dry. In this way, the water in the flowers will be evaporated dry, causing the leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, in winter, moisture should also be maintained. Water mist can be sprayed around the plants at regular times to increase air humidity, or a humidifier at home can be placed next to the plants, which can also increase air humidity.
