The temperature on that day was relatively low, so the plants and flowers at home should be watered as little as possible. For some large plants, watering should be even less. The low water content in the flower pots can at least protect the roots of the plants from being frozen. If there is no heating as a guarantee at home, it is best not to water them at all.
Ordinary flowers and green plants have a slightly higher ability to withstand low temperatures, because the leaves of the plants do not contain a lot of water, and at least they have to be more resistant to freezing. succulents suffer. After all, there are many flower lovers who like to raise succulents. It is not safe to place succulents on the balcony or on the windowsill. The more water stored in the succulents, the easier they are to be frozen.
The temperature of the leaves to water, as the outside temperature drops, the succulent leaves may turn into water. This problem cannot be solved from the root. All we can do is reduce watering or no watering. The succulent roots cannot absorb water, and all they consume is the water stored in the leaves. By consuming part of the water, you can avoid being frozen in winter.
The succulents in my house basically have no water supply in winter. Basically every year in December, the temperature in Shandong is minus seven to eight degrees at night. All the succulents placed on the balcony will be cut off from water. At night, the fill light will be turned on for 4 hours. The fill light is to provide light on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also emit a trace amount of heat.
succulents cannot be exposed to any moisture for up to 1 to 2 months, and there will be no problems at all. At least this is what my succulents are like. There is no way. Although the floor heating at home is very hot, the temperature on the balcony is still relatively low as it passes through the wall. Especially at night, the temperature is even lower. The only way is to avoid watering to avoid frostbite to the plants at low temperatures.
A healthy succulent tree, as long as its root system is well developed, will definitely not dry out if it is not watered for 40 to 50 days. At most, some leaves will be consumed, and even the succulent leaves of some large female plants will not be consumed. The original chubby leaves may become wrinkled because all the water in the leaves has been consumed.
When the temperature rises, as long as the night temperature reaches above 0 degrees, you can increase watering at this time. Water once, the succulent roots can be fully absorbed, and the originally wrinkled leaves will soon return to their full state.
