It's a bit of a pity to just throw away flowers; methods to rescue flowers

In winter the weather is cold, and the flowers being grown often end up getting frozen. Today I'll share this with everyone.

1. How flowers look when frozen

First, in terms of color, on frozen flowers the originally green leaves become lighter in color, and overall they look light brown; second, on the leaf surface wrinkles appear, the leaves become limp and lifeless, and they may even drop off. When you find that plants show these two conditions in winter, they have generally been frozen.

2. How to handle flowers afterwards

Generally speaking, frozen flowers fall into 2 situations: frozen and frozen to death. In the frozen case there is still hope of saving them; it's just that part of them has been frozen, while the roots and stems have not been damaged by the cold, so as long as you rescue them in time, they can still supply nutrients normally.

Frozen to death means the plant has been frozen through from the inside out. If it has frozen to death, then there is no chance of survival. Generally speaking, herbaceous plants are relatively susceptible to cold damage, and once frozen they are very hard to recover; woody plants will show leaf drop after being frozen, but there is still hope that they will sprout again the next year.

Many people, when they see the flowers they are growing have been frozen, just move the flowers straight to a warm place; this approach is wrong.

For frozen flowers, you can handle them according to the degree of freezing:

For mildly frozen flowers, move them to a spot with a temperature of around 5°C above zero to let them ease back; this process may take some time, so don't rush it, since plants need time to heal themselves, and during this period you absolutely must not water them.

For severely frozen flowers, the handling method is certainly not the same as for mildly frozen ones; at this point don't hold out any hope for the branches and leaves, and the top priority is protecting the roots, to make sure that after some time the flowers can sprout again.

Cut off the branches and leaves that have already been damaged by frost, observe whether the stem and roots are still alive, then apply some to the surface and let it dry, to prevent infection; after that, wait until the soil in the flowerpot is completely dry before watering again, and then just quietly wait for it to sprout in the spring of the following year.

In addition, if the flowers are chilled by cold wind on the way home when you buy them in winter, you can also handle them according to the mild treatment method; though if they are quite severely frozen, you can handle them this way too, but the frozen parts cannot recover, and you can only hope that the unfrozen parts sprout again, so absolutely don't give up.

! That's all for sharing with everyone. From now on it's about how to handle flowers afterwards, which requires us to pay attention to weather changes in normal times to prevent cold damage; only in this way can you grow flowers well in winter.
