How to care for spiderwort in winter

Is spiderwort afraid of freezing?

Net-veined grass is not cold-resistant. If it is not properly maintained in winter, it will easily be frozen to death. Its most suitable growth temperature is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. When the temperature drops in winter, it should be moved indoors in time for maintenance.

Winter care methods for spiderwort

1. Ventilation: When caring for spiderwort indoors in winter, pay attention to ventilation. Open the windows for ventilation at noon when the temperature is higher to avoid the environment being too closed and causing poor growth of the plant.

2. Light: Net-veined spider grass needs sufficient light in winter because the sunlight intensity is not high in winter. Sufficient light is beneficial to the accumulation of nutrients in the net-veined spider grass and makes the leaf color brighter.

3. Get more sunlight: Net-veined grass is afraid of strong sunlight, but the winter sun is warm and soft, so net-veined grass can get more sunlight in winter to increase the ambient temperature for growth.

4. Control watering: Net-veined grass needs to reduce watering in winter because the temperature is low in winter. It is difficult for the roots to absorb water after watering, and the water is difficult to evaporate, so just keep the soil in the pot slightly dry.

5. Do not apply fertilizer: You need to stop fertilizing spiderwort in winter because the temperature is low and the plant will enter a dormant period. Fertilizing at this time will cause fertilizer damage. Stop fertilizing and wait until the temperature rises before applying fertilizer again.

Maintenance tips for spiderwort in northern winter

1. When the spiderwort is maintained in the northern region, the outdoor temperature is relatively low. For example, the temperature in the northeast region can even reach minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in winter. If no warming measures are taken, the spiderwort will definitely be frozen to death in winter.

2. In the north, most homes have heating in winter, so you can move the spider grass indoors for maintenance. This is the simplest method, but you need to be careful not to place the spider grass near the heater.

Precautions for winter cultivation of spiderwort

Net-veined grass has a certain degree of cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. However, if the winter temperature is below -10 degrees Celsius, it may be frozen to death. It is best to keep it indoors.

The temperature is low in winter, so the net grass grown at home cannot be repotted, pruned, or grafted. When maintaining it indoors, attention should be paid to ventilation, but it should be prevented from being invaded by cold winds. Individual fallen leaves should be cleaned up at any time to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests.

The temperature for maintaining spiderwort in winter should not be lower than 13℃ to avoid leaf drop and freezing. In addition, the winter sun is warm and soft, so the plants should be exposed to more sun to make the leaves of the plants bright in color.
