During the winter, attention should be paid to keeping warm. For outdoor breeding, it is necessary to put a plastic bag on it and tie the bottom opening tightly. The frequency of watering should also be limited, and the soil should not be too wet. Ensure sufficient sunlight exposure, at least 4 hours of exposure to the sun. Fertilizer should be applied once before the beginning of winter, but fertilizer should be stopped during the winter to avoid fertilizer accumulation.

1. Block the cold wind

If you grow cockscomb outdoors in winter, you should cover it with a plastic film when the cold wind hits, and just cover the plant with a plastic bag. After putting it on, tie the air outlet at the lower end tightly, which can provide a good thermal insulation effect.

2. Water sparingly

< p>The temperature at this time is very low, so watering should be done sparingly. Flowers with too much water will suffer from root rot. It grows very slowly in winter and does not require much water. If it is too humid, it will be difficult for it to survive the winter.

3. Ensure light

The sunlight during the winter is not very weak. Try to place it in a sunny place so that it can receive more sunlight. Full-day sunshine is also acceptable, which will help it survive the winter better. Under normal circumstances, you should receive at least 4 hours of light every day.

IV. Suspension of fertilization

In winter, you should stop fertilizing first. Usually, fertilizing once before the beginning of winter can help it survive the winter better and also protect it from the cold. During the overwintering period, be careful to stop fertilizing. If you fertilize normally when the plants stop growing, fertilizer accumulation will occur.
