It is not cold-tolerant, and the temperature is low in winter, so the temperature must be controlled to survive the winter safely. The temperature for winter needs to be above 5 degrees and not lower than 5 degrees, otherwise you will easily get frostbite. In addition to temperature, pay attention to humidity and light. At this time, growth is slow and water evaporates slowly. It is necessary to reduce the amount and frequency of watering. If the soil is not dry, there is no need to water to avoid frostbite. It likes light, so it should be placed indoors in a well-lit place. Excessive sun exposure is beneficial to winter.

1. Winter temperature

Its origin is in tropical areas. It likes warm environment and is not cold-tolerant. The temperature in winter is low, so you need to pay attention to temperature control. The temperature for winter should be above 5 degrees. If it is below 5 degrees, freezing damage will easily occur. It is recommended to move it indoors for management after the temperature drops in late autumn. It is best to control the temperature above 10 degrees so that the plant can continue to grow.

2. Can it survive the winter?

Its adaptability is very strong. Although it has poor cold resistance, as long as you pay attention to the maintenance methods in winter, you can ensure a safe winter.

In addition to temperature, you should also pay more attention to humidity and light. In a low temperature environment, water evaporates slowly, its growth rate is also slow, and its water demand will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced at this time. Water again when you find the soil is dry, and pay attention to the water temperature and try to keep it as close to the soil temperature as possible. It likes light, so it should be placed indoors in a well-lit area. It is best to be exposed to the sun throughout the day. This can increase the temperature and satisfy its need for light, which is beneficial to its wintering.

3. Things to note during winter

Plants grow slowly in winter, and the nutrients contained in the soil can meet their needs. Be careful not to fertilize. Even if it is applied, it will not be absorbed. Instead, it will burn the roots and damage the plants. Wait until the temperature rises in spring and the plants start to grow before managing them normally.
