How to revive a Peace Lily after frost damage? Detailed remedies

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Once a Peace Lily (Pachira aquatica) has suffered frost damage, you should move it to a warm room and adjust the temperature gradually; after two or three days, set the temperature to the range it needs, or cut off the frost-damaged branches and leaves, and by the following spring it will grow back again. During the depths of winter, care must be taken in all aspects so that it does not get damaged.

I. How to revive it

1. Move it to a warm room, but do not let it experience a very high temperature right away; raise the temperature gradually, and after two or three days adjust it to within its suitable growing temperature range.

2. Cut off some of its frost-damaged leaves, then place it in a cool area, and it will slowly recover.

3. Alternatively, wait until early spring of the following year and cut off all its branches and leaves; this is its budding season, and it will grow out good branches and leaves again.

II. How to care for it in the depths of winter

1. Temperature

If the depths of winter are rather cold, keep the minimum temperature above 5°C; if it is left in temperatures below 5°C for a long time, it will easily suffer frost damage, its leaves and branches will slowly wither, and it may even die in the end.

2. Sunlight

In the depths of winter, if there is sun, place it directly in an area that the sun can reach, so that it will grow more healthily. Moreover, the sun in the depths of winter is not very strong, so even in direct sunlight its leaves will not be scorched.

3. Watering

In the depths of winter you can water it a little less, but you can mist it, so that even if the air is rather dry it still has enough humidity, and only then will its leaves grow more healthily.

4. Fertilising

After entering golden autumn, fertilise it twice, so that it can make it through the depths of winter safely. In the depths of winter, stop fertilising for the time being, because fertilising it at this time is very likely to harm its roots.
