The name of this plant sounds tenacious, but in fact, it is a relatively delicate and tender plant. Its flower structure is a little different from other ordinary flower structures. Its stamen is surrounded by three petals of the same color, and the most different is that its three petals look like leaves. The color of this plant is mostly purplish red, which looks very enchanting. And this kind of plant is very afraid of cold, so what should we pay attention to in winter breeding?

I. do not over water:

Because this plant is more afraid of the cold, the lowest temperature it can endure is only 8 degrees, so in order to let this plant survive the cold winter smoothly, it can not be watered too much. In winter, it is usually raised in the place with high temperature. If the normal watering amount is maintained as always at this time, the plant will flourish and grow because of the high temperature and the appropriate water. In this case, its cold resistance will decline more and more, which is very bad for its growth. Finally, it should be noted that if you really need to water, it is better to water warm water.

2. No fertilization:

This kind of plant is especially weak in cold resistance, so it's best to choose hibernation in winter to help it survive the winter. If at this time fertilization will promote its growth, thus reducing its ability to resist cold, so in winter, should stop applying any fertilizer to it

III. do not ventilate or reduce the temperature:

In winter, this kind of plant will be put into the house for cultivation. If the temperature in the house does not meet the requirements, it may also be put into the shed for cultivation, so when the sun is strong in winter, it should be helped to ventilate, and if the temperature is high, it should be cooled properly.

4. Do not move into the warm area too early or too late:

1. Time of moving into warm area. In the south, when the winter temperature is lower than 8 degrees, it usually starts from the end of November and the beginning of December, so at this time, potted plants should be moved indoors and other warm places. In the north, the winter will come earlier, so in the early or middle of November, we have to move

2. Time to move out of the warm area. In the south, the temperature will start to rise in March, so it can be moved out of the warm area according to the weather conditions in March. But in the north, the weather is relatively repeated, and the duration of winter is relatively long, so it's not suitable to move it out of the warm area in March, because once the plant is frozen, it can't bloom in the flowering period, so it's better to move it out of the warm area in the north at the end of April and the beginning of May.
