Yushu winter maintenance management methods and precautions (how to keep warm to survive the winter safely)

Is Yushu cold in winter?

Jade tree is a succulent plant of the Crassulaceae family. It is very easy to maintain, and its leaves are thick and green, which has great ornamental value. It can also be made into a bonsai, getting rid of the cabbage price and becoming high-end.

However, the Jade Plant is very afraid of cold , even more so than other succulent plants. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, it is likely to get frostbite , and if it is below zero degrees, it will be frozen like a pile of snot. So, how can the Jade Plant be kept safe in winter?

Winter maintenance and management methods of Yushu

Take it to a warm place to keep warm

One thing you must remember when raising jade plants is that they are very afraid of frost . When they encounter frost, the entire leaf will melt, and the plant will wilt and become like a bunch of snot.

Therefore, when the temperature is around 10 degrees, you should bring it indoors to keep it warm. Generally, the temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees in winter to keep it through the winter normally . At around 10 degrees, the jade plant is in a dormant and non-growing stage, but it will not be frozen to death.

Keep in the sun

In winter, you should give the jade plant more sunlight. Although the temperature is very low, it can increase its photosynthesis and enhance the plant's resistance.

Water carefully and control water

The weather is too cold in winter, so you must control the watering of the Jade Plant. Even if you don't water it for a month or two, it won't die. Keep the soil in the pot dry. If you see that the soil in the pot is too dry, water it once every one or two months to prevent its capillary roots from drying up.

When caring for it in the cold winter, we can pour a small amount of water on the edge of the pot soil. Wait until the temperature rises to about 15 degrees in the spring, and then take it outdoors for maintenance.

Timely pruning

In order to reduce the consumption of nutrients in winter, you can also prune the branches of the jade tree appropriately. Its nutrients are all concentrated in the leaves and thick stems. When pruning, try to leave more branches and leaves to supply nutrients consumed in winter.

In winter, when the jade plant is dormant, it will gradually consume some of the leaves at the bottom to maintain its own growth. It is normal for leaves to fall and turn yellow, as long as there is no problem with the root system.

If you take good care of it until spring, when the temperature reaches about 15 degrees, the jade plant will enter a stage of vigorous growth again. When the spring breeze comes, the jade tree will be graceful again.
