Control temperature: It is not cold-resistant, and the temperature needs to be kept above 6 degrees to survive the winter safely. Control watering: It will slow down the frequency of watering during the winter, to about once a week. Controlled fertilization: You can fertilize once a month according to its specific conditions, or you can not fertilize at all. Increase humidity: Spray water once every two days when growing indoors, but do not spray it on the plants. Reduce light exposure: Don’t expose yourself to too much light, just 3 hours of sunlight every day.

1. Control the temperature

1. Control the temperature

It has relatively high temperature requirements for the growing environment in winter. Because it is not cold-tolerant, the maintenance temperature needs to be kept above 6 degrees. If it is maintained in the open field, cold protection measures need to be taken. You can wrap the plants with waste cotton wool to keep out the cold. For indoor maintenance, it needs to be isolated from the ground, because there is floor heating in the north, and it is easy to burn if placed directly on the ground.

2. Reduce watering< /h2>

In winter, it will enter a dormant period, and its abilities in all aspects will be weakened, including its ability to absorb water. Therefore, during winter maintenance, watering should be gradually reduced. Under normal circumstances, watering once a week is enough. When watering, do not pour water on the center of the plant. If there is water accumulation, the plant will easily rot.

3. Controlled fertilization

In winter, its ability to absorb nutrients will also be weakened, so the use of fertilizers needs to be slowly reduced. If it is in good condition, there is no need to fertilize it. If it is in bad condition, fertilizing once a month is enough.

4. Increase Humidity

h2>

The climate in winter is relatively dry, which is a big challenge especially for plants maintained indoors. The temperature of indoor maintenance in the north is relatively high, and indoor humidity needs to be increased frequently. Spray the house with water every two days. You don't need to spray it directly on the plants, just spray it in the air.

5. Reduce light

You don’t need to give it too much light in winter. Too much light is not good for dormancy. It will make the plant wake up from dormancy in advance, ensuring that it can be used every day. Just accept about 3 hours of sun exposure.
