When it comes to this kind of plant, you may think of the firecrackers set off in the Spring Festival. Indeed, it is named because its flowers are in a string of shapes, similar to firecrackers. It originated in South America and later spread to Asia. Nowadays, it has become a very popular ornamental plant. Let's talk about how it winters.

The habits of plants

We have introduced its origin in the tropical or subtropical areas of America, so we can also infer that it prefers warm environment. It is not very cold resistant, so the temperature required in winter is relatively high. In addition, it also likes humid environment. Of course, sunshine is also a necessity for its growth. We all know that there is plenty of sunshine near the tropics.

Specific winter method

Temperature:

In winter, whether the plants need to be moved to indoor maintenance depends on the specific temperature of the specific area. Generally speaking, in South China, plants can winter outdoors. However, further north, the winter temperature is relatively low, at this time we need to put the plants indoors, and the temperature is best controlled above 10 degrees Celsius, the plants can safely winter.

Illumination:

In fact, plants rely on sunlight all year round, so this factor is indispensable in winter, and it is of great significance to plants. Although we can't put the plants on the balcony and other places with low outdoor temperature, we can put them on the indoor windowsill and other places, so that we can easily receive the sunshine.

Water and fertilizer:

We all know that there is not much demand for water and fertilizer in winter. However, in order for plants to grow and bloom normally when spring comes, we should also properly water and apply some fertilizer, which will be beneficial to plants in the coming year. However, we must pay attention to the right amount, not too much, because after all, there is little demand for plants themselves.

Ventilation:

Almost every kind of plant needs proper ventilation to help it breathe better.
