Most plants from the tropics and subtropics will stop growing in winter and enter the dormancy period. They will be protected indoors. Many flower friends know that. If you want the flowers to survive the winter safely and grow leaves and flowers again next year, you can't relax the indoor maintenance in this winter.

Are your plants afraid of cold?

There are two types of common flowers planted in the family: cold resistant type and cold resistant type. Cold resistant plants such as rose, Rhododendron, osmanthus, Tieshu, Begonia, clove and Hosta can survive the winter even if they are placed outdoors or on the balcony. Hyacinth and Narcissus can be raised and bloomed indoors in winter. Aglaia odorata, Chlorophytum, pineapple, Money Tree and other cold fearing plants must be moved into the room.

Many potted plants stop growing at about 5 ℃. When the temperature reaches freezing point, it will face a fatal blow. To be on the safe side, it's better not to test the cold resistance of your plants. Move in the house in time

Prepare to enter the room

Before the flowers are moved into the room, the wall and bottom of the basin should be cleaned to prevent pests from entering the room.

Preparation for entry

When dead branches and disease and insect branches are found, they should be cut off.

Heat preservation and ventilation

Do not close the windows and doors in the first week after entering the room, so as to make the potted flowers gradually adapt to the temperature change from outdoor to indoor, or the leaves of potted flowers will easily fall off.

Preparation for entry

Special circumstances can not put flowers in the house, in the balcony with large cartons or wooden boxes or film to create a relatively closed space, will not be cold pot flowers in which, and then small heat sources such as electric lights, hot water bags in which, there is heat preservation, antifreeze effect.

When the room temperature drops to the lowest winter temperature, choose a clean plastic bag slightly larger than the potted flower to cover the potted flower and tightly seal the opening of the bag, and then pierce a few holes on the bag for ventilation. It is found that there are water drops in the plastic bag, indicating that the temperature in the bag is high, it is necessary to change the air in time, and at the same time, lift a corner to pour water.

Preparation for entry

If the room temperature is more than 20 ° C, the doors and windows should be opened half or full in time to cool down and prevent the cold resistance from being "stuffy".

Preparation for entry

Narcissus warming flowers

Generally, Narcissus can bloom as scheduled after being watered for 45-50 days. When the room temperature rises to about 18 ℃, it only takes 30 days to bloom; when the room temperature is 20 ℃, it only takes 25 days to bloom

Preparation for entry

1. Increase the temperature, and put it under the outdoor sunshine in the daytime, or in front of the sunny glass window facing south indoors until it blooms.

Preparation for entry

2. Increase the temperature of the light, cover the plastic cover in the flowerpot, turn on the electric light to irradiate, and stop when the temperature in the cover rises to 23 ℃.

3. Heat up the electric heater, turn on the electric heater or place the hair dryer in a position not to scald the Narcissus, and let the warm wind slowly blow the flower body for several days until the flowers bloom.

4. Increase the temperature of warm water, put a small amount of warm water in the basin, and let the water temperature rise to 12-15 ℃.

See light

After entering the room, the flowers should be placed in the warm sunny place, such as in front of the south window.

Preparation for entry

The arrangement of potted flowers should be arranged in an orderly manner, with ventilation and light transmission; the positive potted flowers should be placed in the front row, and the shade resistant or semi shade resistant potted flowers should be placed in the middle or back row, and the orientation of potted flowers should be changed regularly or irregularly. It is not only beneficial to the maintenance of winter potted flowers, to the creation of photosynthesis conditions, but also to the warmth and temperature, to keep the branches and leaves from skewing and even and beautiful.

Preparation for entry

Water and fertilizer management

You don't have to water it often. Only when the soil in the basin (less than 2-3cm) is found to be dry and powdery, or the basin body is knocked to make a crisp sound, can the appropriate amount of water be watered (not more). When the lowest temperature is below 0 ℃, the best time to water is at noon.

Preparation for entry

The reason why the tip of the leaves is burnt yellow and the color of the leaves is not bright is that the indoor air humidity is not enough, and the air humidity is not equal to the soil humidity. For hanging flowers like Chlorophytum and Chloranthus, we should often spray water on the leaves of plants to increase the air humidity.

Preparation for entry

During the winter, fertilization should be suspended, flowers are in dormancy, and the demand for water and fertilizer is not large. Basin soil is too fat and too wet, easy to cause flower rotten root death.

Preparation for entry

Other

For jasmine, Aglaia odorata, osmanthus and other flowers, pruning is needed, that is, to remove the dry branches, excessive branches and pest branches, so that the limited nutrients in the pot soil supply the strong branches, which is conducive to the development of new branches in spring.

Preparation for entry

In case of warm or rainy days, don't move outside to have a sun or rain at will to prevent "cold".

Don't put it in the kitchen, don't get too close to the air conditioner or heater, so as to prevent smoking and scorching the branches.

Heater

Details determine life and death

Flowers charge so much

I wish you all a safe winter
