Cultivation methods and precautions of Daphne koreana in winter

1. Keep warm and increase temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for Daphne odora is 10-20℃, and winter is the flowering period of Daphne odora. Therefore, when growing Daphne odora in winter, it is necessary to ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 10℃. In the north, you must also pay attention to not letting the leaves of Daphne odora touch the glass, otherwise it will easily get frostbite.

2. Get more sun

Daphne odora is afraid of the scorching sun, but the light in winter is warm and soft. More sun exposure is helpful for the plant to accumulate nutrients, which is very beneficial to the plant's growth and flowering. Therefore, when growing Daphne odora in winter, it should be placed on a south balcony with sufficient light and exposed to the sun as long as possible.

3. Proper watering

Daphne koreana likes moisture, but the plant prefers high humidity in the air and the soil should not be too dry or too wet. You can weigh the flowerpot at ordinary times. If it feels noticeably lighter, water it thoroughly. If the indoor air is dry, you can spray water around the plant, but do not spray water on the flowers and leaves.

4. Provide plenty of ventilation

In winter, the indoor heating and dry air, coupled with the poor ventilation of the maintenance environment, will easily cause problems for Daphne osmanthus. It is best to open the windows for ventilation at noon when the temperature is high. When ventilating, move the Daphne osmanthus away from the window to prevent it from being blown by cold wind.

5. Avoid fertilizing

In winter, when Daphne odora is in the flowering period, fertilizer cannot be applied. If Daphne odora has not bloomed and the room heating temperature is high, you can water the plant with potassium dihydrogen phosphate once every half a month to promote rapid flowering of the plant. Stop fertilizing after it blooms.
