How to protect flowers from freezing when a cold snap hits? Otherwise, only empty pots will be left in winter

Freezing like a dog in the morning and evening, hot as a ball at noon - that's how big the temperature difference is right now. Still, the current temperature is excellent for succulent growth, but some warmth-loving flowers and plants are a different story. If you suddenly get a whim one day and move them outdoors at noon to bask in the sun with you, then forget to bring them back in, just wait to "collect the corpses." Still, Yatou has to advise everyone: while you can still make up for things now, hurry - take cuttings where cuttings are needed, prune where pruning is needed, and give everything a good tidy-up!

Jasmine needs pruning

It's so cold that the jasmine at home has long since faded. Have you forgotten to prune it? Looking at those withered branches and faded flowers, you just don't want to bother? Better to prune diligently - that way it will bloom even better next year.

After cutting off the yellowed, weak leaves, you will clearly see many small tender buds on the branches, seemingly about to sprout at any moment - they were hidden before by the dead leaves. Once you see the small buds, you can prune again, and you can be a bit more aggressive to reduce nutrient loss and concentrate nutrients on sprouting new buds.

Bougainvillea

Everyone knows that bougainvillea blooms between winter and spring, and some varieties can still bloom now, so it's time to prepare for blooming! Many people envy and are jealous of other people's bougainvillea, but actually you can do it too. The secret is to start water control now.

Control water for three weeks, watering as little as possible. After three weeks, halve the amount of water each time, keeping the bougainvillea normal for one day and wilted for several days. This can prevent new shoots from growing. During the water control period, supplement with phosphorus fertilizer. After one month of water control, you can adopt a heavy-water, heavy-fertilizer care method, and flower buds will soon appear!
