---

Olivia doesn't tolerate freezing very well. This kind of succulent likes a cool climate, and the temperature should be kept above 5℃. If the temperature is below 0℃, it is easy to freeze. Before winter, the plants need to be placed in a warm place or put a bag on them to keep warm. Make sure there is enough light at ordinary times. You can bask in the sun all day without worrying about getting sunburned. In addition, since the demand for water and fertilizer is not high during the dormant period, it is necessary to reduce watering and stop fertilizing.

1. Is it frost tolerant?

Olivia likes cool climates, but is not frost tolerant. If the temperature is higher than 10°C, the plants can still grow normally, but when it reaches 5°C, the growth will be very slow. If the temperature is lower than 0°C, the plants may be frostbitten. Therefore, various measures must be taken in winter to ensure that it can survive the winter safely.

2. How to survive the winter

1 . Cold protection and warmth preservation: Before winter, Olivia needs to be moved indoors to a warm place in time to ensure that the temperature is above 5℃. If the room temperature is not enough, you can put a plastic bag on the plant to keep it warm, which can also have a thermal insulation effect. It should be noted that the bag should be opened regularly every day to ventilate it to prevent the plant from being unable to breathe.

2. Increase light: Olivia is a light-loving plant , although it needs proper shade at noon in summer, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive sunlight all day long in winter. Because the temperature at this time is not high and the light is very soft, adequate exposure to light will help increase the ambient temperature so that it can survive the winter better.

3. Less water and no fertilizer: As the temperature drops, Olivia gradually enters a dormant state, and its demand for water and nutrients decreases, so it requires less water and no fertilizer. If you continue to water and fertilize, it may damage the root system of the plant and be detrimental to its growth. However, if it is kept indoors, it can be maintained normally as long as the temperature exceeds 10°C.
