Will lilies freeze to death in winter?

1. Will it die in winter?

Lily is a perennial herb, so it will not die as long as it is given a suitable environment in winter. However, the temperature is relatively low at this time, especially in the northern regions. The above-ground parts will usually dry up due to the low temperature environment, but the underground bulbs can safely survive the winter and should be moved to a greenhouse. The southern region is relatively warm and can be spent outdoors. When the temperature rises in spring, it will grow and sprout normally.

2. Winter maintenance methods

1. Temperature: If you want it to survive the winter, you must first ensure the temperature, which should be above 10 degrees, so that the bulbs can survive safely. If the temperature is low, you can refrigerate it and place it in sand to keep it warm to avoid freezing to death.

2. Light: The light in winter is mild. If conditions permit, you can place it on the balcony indoors. More sunlight can also alleviate the low temperature environment, which is beneficial for wintering.

3. Watering: Watering needs to be controlled during the winter, when the plant has entered a dormant state and has stopped growing. Too much water can easily cause waterlogging and root rot. The soil in the pot just needs to be slightly moist. If it is too dry, add a small amount of water at noon.

4. Insulation: If you are in the southern region, just place it outdoors. You can cover the outside of the plant with plastic film to keep it warm, and then uncover it when the weather is clear to let it dry in the sun. Once the temperature stabilizes, you can completely remove it.
