Taboos for growing Gentiana rhodantha in winter

Winter root maintenance

If it takes root in autumn, then the soil in winter must be kept moist. In the first year, a healthy new strain will develop smoothly.

Winter temperatures should not be too high

If it is grown in the south, it can be placed in a room to overwinter, but it should be moved indoors. After all, few plants in the north can withstand the temperature. Apart from damage from storms, plants are still left standing in the courtyard before they go dormant. I am afraid they will be kidnapped by the wind in the morning. It has the ability to grow in a cool environment. If it is moved to an inner cavity in the north, it must be placed in a place with a lower temperature. For example, at the entrance, corridor, etc., a north balcony can also be used.

Pay attention to watering in winter

Although it avoids drought, it also has a certain drought resistance. Therefore, when there is too much water in the pot, it will affect its normal growth, and if it is too moist for a long time, it will cause it to rot. In addition, water loss in winter is very small, so watering in winter can have longer intervals. When the surface of the potting soil dries out, it is watered. At this time, the deep soil is still a little moist, and watering is just right. Before watering, be sure to let the water sit for a while so that the water temperature is the same as the temperature of the potting soil, and then water.
