In order to allow the ginger lotus to survive the winter better, it is necessary to prune off the residual leaves, diseased leaves and leggy leaves before winter, and apply fertilizer to it once to replenish nutrients. After winter, it needs to be moved indoors and maintained in an environment above 10℃. During maintenance, it is necessary to maintain sufficient lighting and regular ventilation, control watering appropriately and suspend fertilization. When the temperature rises next year, you can increase watering and resume fertilizing again.

1. Prune

1. Pruning

In order to allow the ginger lotus to survive the winter better, you can prune it before winter. This pruning requires cutting off all remaining leaves on the plant, as well as excessive and unnecessary side branches on the plant. In addition, if there are diseased leaves and leggy branches and leaves on the plant, they also need to be cut off. This can greatly reduce the nutrient consumption of the plant, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

2. Indoor maintenance

Because ginger lotus cannot tolerate cold, it is recommended to move it indoors for maintenance after winter. The curing temperature should be controlled above 10℃. This will ensure that it survives the winter safely and will not suffer frostbite. When maintaining, it is recommended to place it in a place with sufficient sunlight, maintain ventilation, and control watering. This allows it to synthesize more nutrients and avoid growth problems caused by an environment that is too shaded or too humid, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

3. Precautions

In winter, be careful not to fertilize ginger lotus. Because it grows slowly at this time, its nutrient requirements are not high. If fertilizer is applied at this time, it will not be absorbed in time. Excess fertilizer will remain in the growing medium and cause damage to its root system. Fertilizer can be applied once before winter. There is no need to fertilize in winter. Fertilizer can be applied again after the temperature rises in the coming year.
