How to deal with freeze damage on the Money Tree? Winter warmth is key
Winter has arrived, and many plants cannot withstand the severe cold and gradually wither and fade away. People who keep spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) at home also worry that they will be affected by the cold climate and die, so they plan to learn some methods for getting spider plants through the winter to help them survive it well. So, how do spider plants get through the winter?
Move it indoors and water it once every four days; water thoroughly, and it is best to choose noon for watering, with the water temperature ideally matching the air temperature. This can prevent the roots from freezing, and when placed indoors the leaf surfaces should be cleaned regularly. In winter, it is suitable to keep the potting soil slightly moist. Keep the room temperature at 15-20°C, and it can grow normally.
In northern areas with heating, normal indoor care is enough, and water when it needs watering. In northern areas without heating, since the editor has not tried it, I can only say to keep the temperature as stable as possible; also, do not water it, because spider plants have fleshy roots that store some water, so not watering for a while will not kill them, and even if the leaves wither, there is still a chance of new shoots sprouting the following spring.
In some parts of the south there is no heating, but winter temperatures are relatively cold; as long as it does not freeze, spider plants can get through it. However, if the leaves wither, gardeners need not worry; just remember not to water, so the root system stays alive, and it will be fine once spring arrives.
How do spider plants get through the winter? The climate in the north is different from the south, so when growing spider plants, helping them through the winter should be based on the actual local temperature and humidity; you cannot be too blind about it, and only then can you grow your spider plants at home better and more beautifully.
