What to do if the yew is frozen

1. Keep warm

1. If it is frostbitten, take immediate measures. First of all, keep it warm. Depending on the region and the approach of winter, you can keep it warm in advance. This is the best way to let it spend the winter safely.

2. If there are a lot of yew trees, you can build a special shed for them. If there are only a few potted plants at home, you can build a simple house for them with bamboo on the open space, wrap the outside of the house with plastic film, and then cover it with grass at night.

3. In the northern region, it is relatively cold, and you need to use two layers of plastic film to prevent it from frost damage. During the day, you need to lift up the grass that covers it at night to ensure that it receives normal light.

2. Water less

1. After winter, its growth basically stops and its ability to absorb water is also reduced. Do not water it too much and the amount of water output should not be too large. If placed in a greenhouse, keep the soil slightly dry to allow it to safely survive the winter.

2. If the soil in the pot is relatively dry, water it in sunny weather, such as after 10 am or before 3 pm. The temperature of the water cannot be too different from the outside temperature. Whether it is too hot or too cold, it will irritate it. If the situation is serious, its leaves will fall off or even die.

3. If it is placed indoors, it should be watered once a week. If it is placed on the balcony, it should be watered twice a week. Its ability to absorb water is relatively weak in winter, but if it is too dry, its hair roots will die from dehydration. So in addition to watering it, you also need to sprinkle water on its branches and leaves. If the temperature is below minus one degree, you need to keep it wet, otherwise the ice will damage its roots.

3. Ventilation

1. If it is placed indoors, put it in a well-ventilated and well-lit place. When the sun is more abundant at noon in winter, you should open the windows appropriately to keep the air in the house unobstructed. Around 9 am to before 3 pm are very suitable times.

2. You can also prune its branches and leaves, and prune old plants to reduce nutrient consumption and increase the probability of it successfully surviving the winter. However, if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, do not prune it.
