How to care for potted flowers in the north in winter so they survive the winter safely

Many flower lovers are from the north, and in winter the northern temperatures are relatively low, which leaves them at a loss, not knowing what to do to get their flowers safely through the winter. Today I will tell you.

First, pay attention to water

In winter, flowers grow more slowly, and some even enter dormancy, so their water needs decrease. At this time, reduce watering, keep the soil dry, and water once a week. The temperature of the water used must not be lower than the indoor temperature, and watering should be done at noon.

Second, prune appropriately

In winter, prune the branches and leaves of flowers and plants, cutting off yellowed, withered, excess and nutrient-deficient branches and leaves, so that the plant's nutrients are not all absorbed by these leaves and the flowers can get through the winter safely.

Third, pay attention to light

In winter, daylight hours become shorter. If flowers do not get enough sunlight, they cannot carry out enough photosynthesis, which leads to leggy growth, poor growth and no blooming. In winter, you can place the flowers by the window, in a bright spot with indirect light away from the north wind, to provide the flowers and plants with enough light for growth. Also ventilate regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria.

Fourth, fertilize in moderation

In winter, flowers generally do not need fertilizing. Winter temperatures are low, the flowers are in a dormant state, they cannot absorb the nutrients from the fertilizer, and it easily causes root burn. So usually fertilizing once before winter begins is enough.

Finally, pay attention to temperature

Northern winters are relatively cold. If the outdoor temperature is below 10°C, move the flowers indoors for care. If the flowers like warmth and humidity, you should provide them with a suitable temperature above 10°C, do a good job of keeping them warm and protected from the cold, and avoid frostbite and cold damage to the flowers caused by excessively low temperatures.

A reminder: pay attention to pest and disease control

In winter, flowers and plants may also suffer from pests and diseases. Spray pesticide solution regularly to prevent and control pests, so the plants do not "get sick."

I believe that as long as northern flower lovers pay attention to the above points, they will definitely be able to get their flowers safely through the winter, and next year they will be full of blooming flowers.
