How does Yu Yi Huang survive the winter?

temperature

When it comes to winter maintenance, the first factor that naturally comes to mind is temperature. Because winter is relatively cold, we all worry about whether we will get frostbite at this time. The lowest temperature they can tolerate is 5°C. Friends in the north whose temperatures fluctuate around this range or do not reach 5℃ at all can move them into a bright room indoors. If you are still worried, you can choose to cover them with paper or plastic film. It would be better if the temperature could be kept around 15℃. But don't let the temperature exceed 15℃, otherwise it will seriously affect their dormancy.

illumination

Since it is winter, you should pay attention to sunlight. There is relatively little sunlight in winter. If you don’t put it in a place with better light, the leaves will definitely change color and look malnourished. It is best to place them in a south-facing room so that they can get enough sunlight every day.

Watering

Although this flower is in a dormant period, it can still be watered appropriately, especially when it is just placed indoors. Pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the soil and add water in moderation. When the weather is coldest, proper watering can also prevent frost damage. The time for watering in winter is different from that in summer. In winter, you can choose to do it during the warmer noon time, and be careful not to splash the water on the leaves.

Fertilization

This kind of flower is dormant in winter and naturally does not need nutrients. In other words, avoiding fertilizing in winter is not only useless, but once it causes new buds to sprout, they may be frozen, which is simply not worth the loss. But winter is about to end, and when the spring of the following year begins, you can apply appropriate fertilizer, but try to make it thinner, so that they will grow better the following year.
