2. Can you survive the winter at 0°C or 10°C?

Podocarpus cannot survive the winter in an environment of 0 degrees below zero. Because it has poor cold tolerance, it will enter dormancy if the temperature is lower than 5℃. If the temperature is below 0°C, its roots, branches and leaves will suffer frostbite. If the temperature is below -10°C, it will suffer severe frostbite and may even freeze to death. Therefore, it cannot survive the winter in an environment of 0 degrees below 10 degrees.

1. How to survive the winter safely

1. Proper temperature control: Podocarpus will enter a dormant period in winter. Therefore, in winter, the temperature should be controlled at around 5°C, which is the temperature suitable for it to hibernate. After dormancy in the second year, it will grow better.

2. Increase light: Light can help plants synthesize more nutrients. In winter, allowing it to receive more sunlight will help it accumulate nutrients and is also beneficial to its overwintering.

3. Proper water control: in winter , its water demand will decrease, so you need to pay attention to water control when breeding. If the soil in which it is planted has not dried out, do not water it. This will prevent excess water from accumulating in the soil and causing it to freeze or become waterlogged.

4. Suspension of fertilization: Winter is a season not suitable for fertilization. Because it is in the dormant period at this time, its demand for nutrients is very low, and the nutrients contained in the soil can meet its needs. If fertilizer is applied at this time, it may cause root burn.

2. Can we survive the winter at 10 degrees below zero< /h2>

Podocarpus has poor cold tolerance. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, its growth rate will slow down and it will slowly enter a dormant state. When the temperature falls below 0°C, problems will occur with its root system, branches and leaves. When the temperature is as low as -10°C, it will suffer severe frostbite and may even freeze to death, so it cannot survive the winter safely.
