Flower and Plant Winter Care Methods and Precautions
In winter, flowers and plants are more prone to cold damage, and if care is neglected, winter can be very dangerous for them. So how exactly should flowers and plants be cared for in winter?
Cold protection is needed when keeping flowers and plants in winter
For most flowers and the less cold-tolerant foliage plants placed in greenhouses, plastic tunnels or rooms, such as pothos (Epipremnum aureum), Philodendron 'Imperial Green', and garden croton (Codiaeum variegatum), it is best to water just enough to keep the potting soil moist at this time, but not overly wet; if watered too much, the plants easily rot at the roots and die. If the indoor temperature is relatively high, the amount of watering can be appropriately increased, and the leaves can be misted with water. For those potted flowering plants that bloom around the Spring Festival, such as camellia (Camellia japonica), azalea (Rhododendron), plum blossom (Prunus mume), wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox), and cineraria (Pericallis cruenta), as well as ornamental fruit plants such as finger citron (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis), lemon, firethorn (Pyracantha), heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica), and Ardisia crenata, the potting soil should be kept moist and the plants should be misted with water. The best time for watering is from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and the water temperature should be basically the same as the room temperature. In addition, for potted flowers or bonsai in the room, besides a certain temperature, ventilation should also be done well; windows can be opened around noon for ventilation, to prevent the plants from being stuffy indoors for a long time, which can cause flower drop, fruit drop and leaf drop; but the plants must never be directly exposed to cold wind.

Winter Courtyard Flower and Plant Care Methods and Precautions
Autumn is slowly drawing to a close, winter is quietly arriving, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The care of many flowers and trees is beginning to face a severe challenge. Many people worry that their once colorful and lush little courtyard has now become so bleak. Below, Dream Garden introduces the winter care methods for courtyard flowers and trees.Winter courtyard flower and tree care and precautions:
How should courtyard landscaping flowers and plants be cared for in winter? The growth of flowers and trees all requires a large amount of water, and this is also an important period that determines the survival and growth of flowers and trees, as well as integrated management such as pest and disease control. Therefore, to sum up, the following technical measures should be carried out well:
1. Bud removal, pruning and shaping should be carried out promptly for courtyard flowers and trees. Bud removal is the removal of excess branches and buds; pruning and shaping are carried out according to the tree species and cultivation purpose. For example, the requirements for each purpose differ between timber forests and ornamental trees; those wanting a trunk form and those wanting a crown form differ; the management of those wanting a leaf form and those wanting a flower form also differs, and so on. Therefore, it is determined by the purpose and requirements, by the tree species and tree form, and so on.
2. In winter, the key period should be seized, early prevention should be carried out, and early detection and early treatment should be achieved, so that flowers and trees are not harmed and can thus grow robustly.
3. Because courtyard flowers and trees have few roots and absorb little water, but have a large amount of aboveground transpiration, timely and appropriate watering is a key factor determining the survival of courtyard flowers and plants.
4. After courtyard flowers and trees have been watered and have grown for a period of time, and after wind and other factors, it is inevitable that weeds will grow, the soil will become compacted, and seedlings will lean over. Therefore, timely cultivating and weeding should be carried out to ensure there are no weeds, the soil is loose, and air permeability is good, and leaning trees should be promptly straightened and earthed up.
