How do potted lilacs survive the winter? Will the leaves of lilacs fall off in winter?

1. How to spend the winter

1. Maintain the temperature: The temperature will drop in winter, but the temperature in the south is relatively high. You can keep it outdoors, but also pay attention to keeping it out of the wind and in the sun. The climate in the north is relatively cold. Although lilac flowers are relatively cold-resistant, in order to prevent frost damage, they can be moved indoors and the temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius as much as possible and not lower than 0 degrees Celsius.

2. Plenty of sunlight: Lilac is a plant that likes sunlight. You must pay attention to sunlight during its growth. Place it in a place with better light so that it can carry out photosynthesis, synthesize nutrients, and promote normal growth. In winter, you can place it directly in the sun for maintenance. The sunlight can raise the temperature and prevent frost damage.

3. Control watering: Evaporation is slower in winter and the amount of water required is relatively less, so you need to control the amount of water and wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. If you give too much water, it is easy for water to accumulate in the pot soil and even cause root rot.

4. Stop fertilizing: Apply decomposed fertilizer water once before winter, and stop fertilizing after winter.

5. Proper pruning: Proper pruning in winter can also help with the wintering.

2. Will all the leaves fall off in winter?

If you keep it indoors in winter, the temperature will be relatively high and the leaves will not fall off, but some will fall off and turn yellow.
