How does Daphne koreana survive the winter? What is the lowest temperature it can withstand?

1. Temperature control and insulation

The cold resistance of Daphne koreana is not very high. The temperature is low in winter, so you must pay attention to temperature control. Move it indoors in time after winter comes, and adjust the indoor temperature to around 8 degrees, and the minimum should be above 5 degrees, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite.

2. Get more sun

It likes sunlight very much, and the light in winter is very mild, so it can be moved to a place with sufficient light to get more sun. Sufficient light can increase the temperature of the plant and is also beneficial for it to accumulate nutrients, which can promote better growth and flowering in the coming year.

3. Proper water control

The temperature is low in winter and the moisture in the soil evaporates very slowly, so the amount of watering must be controlled. If the soil in the pot is not dry, you don't need to water it. When the soil is dry, spray it with water appropriately and water it in small amounts. If the soil remains moist for a long time, it will easily be frozen, which will damage the roots and may even cause root rot.

4. Stop fertilizing in time

Before winter, you can apply an appropriate amount of diluted fertilizer to improve its cold resistance and ensure the nutrient needs throughout the winter. However, after winter, you should stop applying fertilizer, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage, burn the roots, and easily lead to plant death.

5. Provide plenty of ventilation

In winter, it is mostly kept indoors and few people open the windows, but this environment is extremely unfavorable for its growth and it is easy to be infected by diseases and pests. It is necessary to ventilate appropriately when the temperature is high at noon.
