1. Will it freeze to death?

2. Winter maintenance

Dendrobium does not have good cold resistance. If the temperature in winter is below 0℃ for a long time, it is likely to freeze to death. However, as long as you pay a little attention to protection during the winter, it can survive the winter. In winter, the temperature should be adjusted to above 5°C, and the maintenance location should be leeward and exposed to sunlight. Water it sparingly and spray it more when the air dries out.

1. Will it freeze to death

Dendrobium is not very cold-resistant. If the temperature is low in winter, it may freeze to death. Under normal circumstances, as long as the temperature remains above 0°C, it will not freeze to death, but it may suffer frostbite. Of course, there are individual cold-resistant varieties, but if you don’t pay attention to protection in winter, it will be difficult to survive the winter smoothly. Therefore, measures to keep out the cold must be taken in winter so that dendrobium will not freeze to death.

2. Winter maintenance

1 . Temperature: It likes warmth and needs to control the temperature to above 5℃ in winter. If the outdoor temperature drops below 5°C, it must be brought indoors for maintenance. In addition, there should be no cold wind in the maintenance position and it needs to be placed in the leeward place. If the weather is good, you can also move it outdoors for a while.

2. Exposure to light: The light in winter is very weak, so you can place it in a sunny place during the winter. If it is still placed in low light, it is likely to grow poorly and may breed bacteria.

3. Less water: When the temperature is low, Water also evaporates very slowly, so water less often, especially when the temperature is very low. If you water too much, the substrate may freeze. The indoor air is generally very dry in winter, so you need to spray water on the leaves appropriately so that the humidity is not too low.
