How to protect outdoor flowers from cold

Protecting ground flowers from the cold: Covering with soil

Before frost strikes, first clean up the dead branches and leaves close to the ground. Secondly, cover the roots with hay, sawdust, fallen leaves, etc., and then cover them with a layer of soil and compact them. This will not only keep warm, but also change the physical structure of the soil, allowing the plants to grow more vigorously next year!

Cold protection for outdoor flowers: Straw tying

For small shrubs such as roses and bauhinias at home, you can choose to use a straw rope to gather and tie up their branches and leaves, and then tie them tightly with straw on the outside. Before that, you can cut off the branches that are too long, and finally bury the soil around the straw and pat it down. In this way, the beautiful flowers can spend the winter safely!

Protecting outdoor flowers from cold: Covering with plastic film

We all know that plastic film has a heat-insulating effect. When faced with delicate flowers, how should we cover them with plastic film? The best way is to cover with double layers of plastic film, and the two layers of film should be 10 cm apart to better improve the insulation effect. It is recommended to lift the upper layer of film at noon every day to prevent the temperature from being too high and affecting the lighting of the flowers.

How to protect outdoor flowers from cold: watering method

According to the specific heat capacity characteristics of water, after watering, the heat from the deep soil will be transferred to the surface, and the temperature of the air near the plants will increase, thus achieving the effect of insulation.

Having said so much, have you remembered it all? The editor would like to say that in addition to the above methods, it is also important to pay attention to the daily nutrition of the plants and enhance the plants' own cold resistance. It is of utmost importance to learn how to irrigate reasonably and apply fertilizers scientifically so that the flowers can grow healthier.
