Don't Miss These 6 Plants for Winter Gardening, It Would Be a Shame Not to Grow Them
Grow a Clivia (Clivia miniata), Enjoy Both Flowers and Leaves!
Clivia is one of the few flowers that lets you enjoy both its blooms and its leaves. If you want to admire the foliage, Clivia's leaves are glossy, thick and lustrous; if you want to enjoy the flowers, Clivia's blooms are large and brightly colored - truly a must-have for the home!
How to care for Clivia in winter?
In winter, it is best to keep Clivia above 5°C, otherwise it may freeze to death. Water about once every 10 days. About every 1 week, turn the pot appropriately to prevent the leaves from growing crooked.
Grow an Ivy (Hedera helix), Absorb All the Secondhand Smoke!
Once the New Year comes, the whole living room is filled with smoke, and that's when Ivy comes to the rescue! The stomata on its leaves can absorb the harmful substances in nicotine, thereby reducing the harm of secondhand smoke to the body.
How to care for Ivy in winter?
In winter, it is best to keep the indoor temperature above 10°C. For Ivy placed in a heated or air-conditioned room, be sure to spray water on the leaves promptly to ensure sufficient air humidity. Normally, just water once the potting soil feels dry and turns pale.
Grow an Aloe (Aloe vera), Soothe Itching, Reduce Swelling, and Get Great Skin!
Before, every time I felt itchy, my mom would just snap off an aloe leaf and rub it directly on the itch, and it would stop itching after a while. Aloe can also be mashed into a paste and applied to the face - the beauty effect is amazing too! Just don't use it if you are allergic to aloe!
How to care for Aloe in winter?
Aloe is afraid of the cold. In winter, keep the temperature above 10°C and water only 1-2 times a month. If the room is rather dry, you can place a basin of warm water next to the aloe to increase air humidity and keep the aloe from wilting due to lack of water.
Grow a Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), So You Never Suffer from Insomnia Again!
Snake Plant opens its stomata at night to absorb carbon dioxide, thereby making the indoor air cleaner and greatly improving sleep quality. What's more, Snake Plant is super easy to grow - just break off a leaf and stick it in a pot, and it can grow into a big clump!
How to care for Snake Plant in winter?
In winter, keep the room at 15°C so the Snake Plant can grow vigorously. Watering just 1-2 times a month is completely enough. If you want the Snake Plant to thrive, you can also bury 1-2 cooked soybeans in the pot.
Grow an Aptenia (Aptenia cordifolia), Delicious in Stir-fries!
Aptenia is truly super easy to grow - it can grow into a big clump without much care, bearing small red flowers. You can also pick it and make a cold dressed dish right away; it tastes really good and also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying - two benefits in one!
How to care for Aptenia in winter?
In winter, place Aptenia on a south-facing balcony to receive plenty of light. Normally, water only after the surface of the potting soil feels dry, to prevent root rot. You can use a spray bottle with a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and spray it on the leaves to make the foliage grow more vigorously!
Grow a Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum), Nourishing and Strengthening for Good Health!
Once winter comes and I start focusing on health, I begin drinking goji berries in water. Later I thought, why not grow a pot at home? Just toss a few in when making tea, and you can also enjoy a small potted plant - simply wonderful!
How to care for Goji Berry in winter?
In winter, it is best to place the potted goji berry in a warm spot indoors. Before watering, use a small wooden stick to poke 2-3 cm along the edge of the pot. If the stick comes out dry, water it; if it is moist, do not water, to prevent root rot.
