How do lotuses survive the winter? Will they die in the winter?

1. How to survive the winter

1. Cut off the yellow leaves: After the flowering ends, it is autumn. The climate begins to gradually turn cooler, and the leaves begin to turn yellow and wither. It is necessary to cut off the yellow and withered leaves. This can reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote growth in the next year.

2. Overwintering in the open air: The climate in the south is relatively mild, and the temperature in winter is still relatively high, so the lotus can overwinter in the open air. When necessary, you can take some warming measures to get through the cold winter.

3. Storage: For the northern region, the temperature is relatively low. If it is placed outdoors, it will not be able to survive the winter normally, so it needs to be stored. If you have a large space at home, you can move it to the balcony to spend the cold winter. By keeping the temperature around 0-10℃, you can almost safely spend the winter. You can also choose to move it to a cold cellar for storage. It can be moved in from late October to early November each year. The surrounding environment should not be too cold, and the temperature should be between 0-8℃ as much as possible. Keep it moist during this period.

2. Will I die in winter?

It will enter a dormant state in winter. The yellowing of its leaves does not mean it is dead. As long as you take good measures to keep warm, it will not die.
