After entering October, the temperature began to gradually drop, and the sunshine time became shorter than summer. Many people cannot adapt to such climate change, so it is also a period of frequent colds. In fact, not only people, but the flowers we grow at home will not adapt to sudden climate change.
So we should also pay extra attention to growing flowers at this time, especially some flower varieties that are more afraid of the cold. At this time, it should be transferred indoors for maintenance. But we don’t just move flowers and plants indoors, just move them in casually. There are certain requirements in this process, so today I will share with my friends the tips on these aspects. Otherwise, all the messes are taken into the house, ignoring the characteristics of the plants, and many flowers will be greatly affected.
Different varieties should choose different entry time .
Since the origin of the flowers and plants we plant are not consistent, their tolerance is also different, so the timing of transfer to the indoors is also different. Some plants are very afraid of the cold, and in early autumn, we have to transfer them indoors. For example, scattered scattered , scattered trench , or Monstera , green ivy, blue snowflake trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench trench Before the temperature is below 14 degrees, it is best to transfer it indoors, otherwise it will affect its growth.
, and some flowers and plants are relatively cold-resistant, and there is no big problem even if you wait until early winter to transfer it indoors. For example, fig , hydrangea, clivian , ruddy red or rose and other plants. The conversion temperature in autumn and winter will not be too low, so there is no need to rush to transfer them indoors. Generally, the temperature is not less than 5 degrees, which will not have too much impact on their growth.
So before transferring flowers, plants and plants indoors, it is best to understand the flowers we plant and their growth habits. In fact, flowers and plants also have a certain ability to adapt to the temperature changes caused by the alternation of seasons. Therefore, when we transfer it indoors, we need to choose a suitable time. It is not good to have too early or too late.
For example, a relatively cold-resistant plant, when it enters autumn, it is still in the growth stage and is still in the stage of flower bud differentiation, such as Clivia, orchid , red pine, rose, etc. If we transfer it indoors too early, it will only affect its growth. , affecting the differentiation of their flower buds, it will not bloom in the next year, and the impact is very big.
In addition, it will not work too late. Because once the temperature outside exceeds the range that can be tolerated, its plants are likely to be frostbite. In this case, it will cause irreversible damage, and in severe cases, it will even cause the plant to freeze to death. Especially for those who are protecting flowers in the north, we should pay more attention to this issue, because the cooling in the north is relatively fast.
What should I do before transferring flowers indoors ?
Even if we get the right time, we can transfer the flowers indoors, but we don’t just move them directly to our homes. There are some work in this process that we need to prepare.
. Change the pot soil or increase the pot soil
In order to allow flowers and plants to better survive the following winter, we should repot some flowers that have not changed the pot soil for a long time to ensure sufficient nutrients in the soil and allow it to survive the cold winter smoothly. This will also help the growth and bloom of flowers in the coming year. Of course, it is best to do it at a temperature above 15 degrees. If it is too late, the root system will not grow. You can only wait until the spring next year to change the pot.
. If necessary, you can trim
Before transferring the flowers indoors, we also need to trim the flowers according to the situation. Especially for some floral plants with diseased branches, or withered branches and leaves on plants, we should prune them as soon as possible to reduce nutrient consumption, which is also conducive to increasing the ventilation of the plants. It is also conducive to the dwarfing of the plants and saves space indoors.
, indoor environment
Before putting flowers indoors, we also need to adjust the indoor environment. For example, in the northern region, when it is relatively cold, flowers should be placed in a place with heating for maintenance. Generally speaking, we should also provide it with a ventilation and sunny place, which is conducive to its growth indoors.
In addition, we need to pay attention to that before we transfer it indoors, we should check whether the plant is infected with pests and diseases. If the plant has pests and diseases problems, it must be dealt with in a timely manner. Solve the problem and then transfer it indoors to avoid bringing plants with pests into the home.
What else should we pay attention to after we transfer flowers and plants indoors?
Placement position
First of all, we should choose a reasonable placement position based on the growth habits of the flowers. For example, if we prefer sunshine, we must not place it in a darker place, but should place it on the sunny windowsill. The light is too dark, and the plants will grow too much and fall leaves, which will affect the growth of flowers and growth in the coming year.
Control of moisture and nutrients
In addition, we should also pay attention to the use of nutrients and moisture. Many plants will start to hibernate in late autumn or early winter, and their growth is relatively slow at this time, so we should reduce the use of water and nutrients. In addition, for some plants that have entered deep dormant and have stopped growing, we must stop using fertilizer and water the number of times we water. If the indoor room is warm and there is heating, and the plants are growing normally, you need to water the plants during the growth period.
Adjust the humidity of the air
After autumn enters the temperature, the weather also becomes dry. If there is heating or air conditioning indoors, the air will be drier. In order to make the flowers and plants grow better, we should also pay attention to changes in humidity after transferring them indoors. We can increase the humidity of the air through an air humidifier. If we are worried that the humidity in our home is too high, we can use a watering can to spray some water mist on the plant to moisturize it locally. However, be sure to be careful to ventilate more and do not let moisture accumulate on the surface of the leaves, otherwise it will also cause leaf spots and buds to fall off.
