Which flowers are afraid of the cold, and can they survive winter outdoors?

As living standards improve, many people have begun to pay more attention to their home environment, so many have fallen in love with growing flowers and plants. However, some flowers and plants are naturally very afraid of the cold. Let's find out below which flowers are afraid of the cold.

Asparagus fern

The asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is a foliage plant with a full artistic flair, native to tropical and subtropical regions. Its branches and leaves are emerald green and elegantly graceful, giving it extremely high ornamental value. However, due to the climate characteristics of its natural distribution area, it is not tolerant of frost. If its branches and leaves are accidentally frostbitten, patches of yellow, scorched leaves will appear. A low temperature below 5°C is extremely dangerous for it and may cause frost damage and death. So when caring for it, as soon as the temperature drops, move it indoors to a warm environment.

Pothos

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a common household green plant. Not only are its branches and leaves beautiful, but it is also evergreen all year round; keeping a pot of it gives you natural beauty and can also purify the air. However, because it originates from tropical rainforests and prefers a warm, humid environment, its tolerance to cold is relatively weak. If you do not protect it when the temperature falls below 10°C and continue to leave it outside, its leaves are easily frostbitten at night, causing them to become soft and black, and in the worst cases the plant can die. So in cold weather, pay special attention to cold protection and warmth, to ensure its healthy growth.

Jasmine

Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) has a unique floral fragrance that makes people feel refreshed, and it is also an evergreen plant that can bloom continuously all year round. However, because it is a flower originating from tropical and subtropical regions, it is very intolerant of cold. Below 5°C it will develop yellow leaves and leaf drop, and even its flower buds may be affected and fail to open. It is recommended to move it in advance to a warm, well-ventilated environment before the frost comes in early winter, so it is protected from the cold.

It is called copper coin grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) because its round appearance resembles ancient copper coins, so it also carries the meaning of rolling in wealth, and many flower lovers like to grow it as a potted ornamental. However, this plant has very low resistance to severe cold. After late autumn, be careful to move it indoors to prevent frost, or serious effects such as wilting and yellowing leaves. In terms of care, after moving it indoors in winter, also pay attention to the frequency of watering; try not to let the potting soil become overly wet.
