Ways to survive the winter

Methods for overwintering

Temperature control

Generally, at the end of autumn, water hyacinths should be moved indoors. At this time, it should be no less than five degrees Celsius to ensure that the plants are not too cold. However, it is basically unrealistic to make the hot and cold water reach the appropriate long-term standard. Plants can be protected by raising the room temperature.

Requirements for ventilation

In order to supply fresh air to the plants, it is best to keep windows open for ventilation every day. However, the time should not be too long to avoid a large amount of low-temperature gas entering, causing the indoor temperature to be too low.

Light requirements

This kind of flower also needs a lot of light, preferably about four or five hours a day. Increasing light in winter can enhance photosynthesis, which is an important factor in ensuring that it survives the winter safely. When the sun is abundant, move the water hyacinth to the balcony or other places to receive light. Don't forget to move the plant back indoors after the sun goes down. If the outdoor temperature is too low, you can place it indoors and open the curtains.

Requirements for water and fertilizer

It is not advisable to water too much in winter, but you can sprinkle water appropriately to increase indoor air humidity. In addition, it is not suitable to add more fertilizer in winter.

Notes

Different regions have different overwintering methods. If you are in the south, you can let it overwinter naturally. Withering in winter is a natural phenomenon, so there is no need to worry too much. It is suitable for planting in places with higher temperatures. Generally speaking, 25-30℃ is the best temperature for it. Therefore, in cold areas or southern areas with higher altitudes, if not managed in late autumn and winter, water hyacinths are extremely susceptible to freezing, and the leaves will turn yellow and may die.
