Olivia likes a cool climate, but she can't stand the cold.If the temperature is higher than 10 C, the plant can still grow normally, but when it reaches 5 C, the growth is very slow, and if it is lower than 0 C, the plant may be frostbitten.Therefore, various measures must be taken in winter to ensure that it can survive the winter safely.
1. Prevent cold and keep warm: Before winter, you need to move Olivia to a warm place indoors in time to ensure that the temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius.If the room temperature is not enough, you can put a plastic bag on the top of the plant to keep warm, which can also play a role in heat preservation.It should be noted that the bag should be opened regularly every day to breathe, so that the plants can not breathe.
2. Increase light: Olivia is a light-loving plant. Although it needs proper shade at noon in summer, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive light all day in winter.Because the temperature is not high at this time, and the light is also very soft, full exposure to light helps to raise the ambient temperature, in order to make it better winter.
3. Less water and no fertilizer: As the temperature decreases, Olivia gradually enters a dormant state, and the demand for water and nutrients decreases, so less water and no fertilizer are needed.If we continue to water and fertilize, it may damage the root system of the plant, which is not conducive to its growth.However, if kept indoors, as long as the temperature exceeds 10 degrees Celsius, it can be maintained normally.
