Cooling in winter, and the outdoor temperature is very low. For flower lovers in in the northern region, succulent will face two problems when moving to home. The first is to grow too long, followed by frostbite. There is no heating at home. Succulents can easily be frozen on the balcony. There is no sunlight in the room, and it is also very easy to grow too long.
How should we solve these two problems?
First of all, how to avoid frostbite of succulents in winter. Most succulents are kept at home, and the indoor temperature is at least 10 degrees. Even if there is no heating at home, the temperature of 10 degrees is enough to allow succulents to safely survive the cold winter. However, if your succulents are placed on the balcony or near the glass, it is easy to be frostbite. Even if the indoor temperature is above 10 degrees, the possibility of frostbite will reach 80%.
The succulent leaves store a lot of water inside. If your succulents are still watering continuously in winter, and close to the window, the leaves will store too much water in the leaves, and the moisture will also decrease with the temperature outside. At this time, the leaves will easily turn into water and become transparent. This is the manifestation of frostbite.
The temperature is low in winter. If you move into the succulents indoors, try not to water them as much as possible. If you don’t have heating at home, not watering is the best anti-freeze method to reduce the water stored in the leaves. The meat will basically not be frozen. The reason is very simple. The more water stored in the leaves, the more likely it is to be frozen. Secondly, the water in the flower soil is short and cannot be dissipated in time. The low temperature from the outside penetrates into the flower soil, which will freeze the roots of the plant. At this time, succulents are also prone to frostbite.
In short, just one sentence: don’t water the succulents in winter. The cold cycle of the whole winter is as long as two to three months. During these 2 to 3 months, it is enough to only water once. Water it once every 40 days. Slight amount of water can meet the needs of succulents. Succulents cannot absorb water, and at most it will consume the leaves at the bottom, not even consume it. You can still spend the cold winter. When the temperature rises in the spring of the next year, it is OK to water it.
. If you want to avoid being too old, you must water less and increase light.
As we all know, the growth of succulent plant relies on sunlight, but when we moved succulents to our home, the intensity of sunlight shining through the glass has weakened, and the light time during the day has also been shortened. It is easy for sedative succulents to grow too long. In order to avoid increasing light at a low length, it is the best way to avoid adding light.
Light can be filled with fill light. 4 hours a day is enough. The fill light does not need to be too long. If the succulents in winter are not watered, it will enter a dormant state, the root system no longer absorbs nutrients, and the plants themselves will basically stop growing. In addition, the fill light increases the light, and there will be no problems in spending winter safely.
