Last Updated: 2024/11/22, If it freezes, keep it warm right away by building a shelter and wrapping it in plastic. In winter, water it as little as possible, let it ventilate, and avoid freezing in the soil.

1. Keep warm

1, if it is frostbitten to take immediate measures, first of all to keep it warm, according to the different regions, as well as the approaching degree of winter, to keep it warm in advance, this is the best way to make it safe through winter.

2, if it is a lot of yew, you can build a shed for them, if only a small number of potted plants at home, you can build a simple house with bamboo in the open space, wrap the outside of the house with plastic film, and then cover it with grass at night.

3, in the northern region, it is relatively cold, need to use two layers of plastic film to prevent it from freezing damage, wait until the day to cover the grass at night to open, to ensure that it receives normal light.

Second, less watering

After winter, its growth is basically suspended, its ability to absorb water is also reduced, watering is not too much, and the water output is not too large. If kept in a greenhouse, keep the soil slightly dry to keep it safe through winter.

If the soil in its basin is relatively dry, it should be watered in the sun's better weather, such as after 10 a.m. or before 3 p.m., the temperature of the water should not be too different from the outside temperature, whether it is too hot or too cold, it will stimulate, if the situation is serious, its leaves will fall, or even die.

If it is placed in the house, it should be watered once a week, and if it is placed on the balcony, it should be watered twice a week. Its ability to absorb water in winter is weak, but it is too dry, and its hairy roots will die because of dehydration. So in addition to watering it, but also to its branches and leaves watering, if the temperature below minus one degree, you need to let it wet, otherwise ice will hurt its roots.

III. Ventilation

1, if it is placed in the house, it should be placed in a better ventilation, and there is light. When the sun is abundant at noon in winter, it is necessary to properly open the windows to keep the air in the house unobstructed. It is a very suitable time from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

2, can also give it pruning branches and leaves, old plants to pruning, can reduce nutrient consumption, increase its probability of successful winter, but if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, do not give it pruning.
