How to keep the golden star in winter

temperature

The most worrying thing in winter is the temperature. The house is stuffy and the temperature is high, while the balcony has better ventilation but the temperature is lower. But as long as you pay attention to the temperature, it is easy to raise the Glehnia littoralis!

The jasmine plant likes a warm environment. The indoor temperature should be controlled at around 10℃, and the lowest should not be lower than 6℃. It is easy to get frostbite at this temperature. In addition, when placing it on the balcony for maintenance, be careful not to be blown directly by cold wind.

illumination

The brocade star prefers a sunny environment with plenty of sunlight and will bloom beautiful small flowers in late winter. Therefore, in winter, the plant should be placed in a place with direct sunlight, full sun, and no shading is needed. If the indoor lighting is poor, at least 5 hours of lighting per day must be ensured.

Watering

Do not water too much. If the soil in the pot is too wet, it will cause the stems and leaves to grow too long, the distance between the leaves will be lengthened, the plant will be loose, and the ornamental value will be reduced. In winter, if there is too much water, the roots will rot and die.

In short, if there is sufficient light, you can water more appropriately. If the light is weak or it is cloudy, try to keep the soil in the pot dry.

Fertilization

It is best not to fertilize in winter. Apply fertilizer in time, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to splash the fertilizer onto the leaves to avoid forming unsightly marks.

Pests and diseases

Winter is not a high incidence season for pests and diseases, but the larvae and pathogens are in a dormant state at low temperatures, so the pathogens must be killed in the soil. After winter or early spring, use disinfectant to irrigate the roots to kill the pests and diseases in the soil.
