How do you properly "raise plants poor" in winter, and do they need watering?
Many flower lovers just can't control their hands when caring for plants. Everyone always worries that their flowers will lack fertilizer, water, or light, so they often create the best possible care conditions for them, but sometimes doing so actually makes the plants lose their vitality. In fact, some flowers are relatively tough and don't need such delicate care. They actually grow better with a bit of "poor raising," and in winter they also get through the season more easily.
Snake Plant
Snake plant (Sansevieria) is a relatively drought-tolerant, shade-tolerant, and poor-soil-tolerant flower. This plant's root system is not very developed to begin with, and it fears waterlogging most of all, so in winter you absolutely must not water it too much, nor give it too good lighting, otherwise its roots will easily rot.
Winter care:
When winter temperatures are relatively low, just keep the soil on the dry side. As for fertilizing, no fertilizer is needed throughout the entire winter, because fertilizing in cold weather instead puts a burden on its roots and causes fertilizer burn. As long as the daily temperature stays above 4°C, it can get through winter safely.
Jade Plant
Jade plant (Crassula ovata), as a succulent, has relatively thick leaves and sturdy branches. It is a very easy plant to grow. Many flower lovers who keep a jade plant can have it live for more than ten years, and it blooms every year.
Winter care:
As for watering, jade plant is drought-tolerant and fears waterlogging. When winter temperatures are relatively low, it basically does not grow at all, so it uses very little water; at this time you only need to keep it dry. As for fertilizing, because winter temperatures are low, any fertilizer given cannot be absorbed and instead creates a burden. As for lighting, you can put it in the sun more during the daytime in winter; the more sufficient the light, the easier it is for it to get through winter.
Money Tree
Money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a plant with a very good symbolic meaning. Its leaves are emerald green and its trunk is sturdy, and it can stay evergreen in all four seasons. In terms of care, it greatly fears waterlogging, so in winter you must give it even more of a "poor raising."
Winter care:
It is itself a drought-tolerant plant that fears waterlogging, so when temperatures are low it basically enters a semi-dormant state and stops growing, so when watering you must keep the soil dry; giving it a little less water can instead prevent yellowing leaves and root rot.
As for fertilizing, at low temperatures it cannot absorb it, and instead the fertilizer just sits in the soil and becomes a burden. As for care temperature, as long as it stays above 15°C, it can get through winter safely.
