4. Control fertilization

In winter, love vines need to be kept warm to prevent the plants from freezing. The indoor temperature should be higher than 10°C. If the temperature is not enough, a plastic bag needs to be placed on it to keep it warm. You can also place it in a sunny place so that it receives light throughout the day, which can also increase the temperature. In addition, due to the slow growth of plants in winter, it is necessary to reduce watering and control fertilization to avoid excessive water and fertilizer damage to the root system.

1. Pay attention to heat preservation

Love vines need to be well protected from cold and warm in winter, otherwise they will easily get frostbite. Before winter, the plants need to be moved indoors to a warm place with a temperature higher than 10°C. If the room temperature is insufficient, you need to prepare a plastic bag and use it to cover the plants, which can also keep warm. Don't put it too close to the heater, as the closer side is prone to water loss.

2. Sufficient light

The love vine is suitable for growing in a place with sufficient sunlight. If the environment is relatively dark, the plant will easily develop stunted. Although it is not resistant to strong light, the light in winter is relatively soft, so it can be exposed to the sun for a long time. This is not only beneficial to the photosynthesis of the plant, but also increases the ambient temperature, which is very helpful for the plant to survive the winter.

3. Reduce watering

The love vine does not have high water requirements, and does not need to be watered too much during the growth period. In winter, more attention should be paid to water control. Too much watering can easily cause root rot and may also cause frostbite. When watering, you need to pay attention to the water temperature. If the water temperature is too low, you need to leave it for a while and wait until it is close to room temperature before using it.

4. Controlled Fertilization

Love vine does not like fertilizer, so the amount of fertilizer must be controlled. In winter, when the plant growth slows down, you can stop fertilizing. If the plant needs to be repotted, a certain amount of base fertilizer should be applied when repotting, which can promote growth in the second year. In addition, if the room temperature is high, you can also topdress appropriately, but do not apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
