How to raise flowers with low indoor temperature in winter

"Last year, my friend gave me a pot of melon and leaf chrysanthemum, which wilted after a week on the balcony." Ms. Liu, a citizen, walked around the flower-and-bird market, looking at the bright grass flowers and wanting to buy them, but she was worried about not keeping them well.

Some hardy flowers have different effects indoors and outdoors. "like chrysanthemums, the leaves are hardy, but the flowers are not hardy. If they are frozen, the flowers will soon fail. If properly maintained, the flowers that bloom in summer can still bloom in winter, and my canna is still in bloom in summer." Mr. Wu said.

However, there are also some flowers in Yangzhou that are not afraid of the cold and can be put outdoors, such as winter plum, wax plum, tea plum and so on. Bright bamboo and ivy also belong to plants that are not afraid of the cold.

Less watering and no fertilizing

"Flowers put indoors must be watered less and stop fertilizing, otherwise, even if they don't die in winter, they will die in spring." Mr. Wu specially reminded me.

According to reports, winter flowers are semi-dormant or dormant, metabolism stopped, if you continue to water, more water, the roots of flowers will be lack of oxygen, will rot roots. Mr. Wu said that fertilizing flowers in winter will also burn flowers, because fertilizer cannot be discharged, and flowers stop metabolism and do not need fertilizer, so fertilization in winter will be counterproductive.

Of course, some aquatic plants can not do without water, such as daffodils, daffodils, money grass, etc., not only to maintain a certain temperature in winter, but also can not cut off water.

Protection, flowers in winter are afraid of spring breeze

"one more point to remind is that plants that spend the winter indoors are very delicate after the beginning of spring, and they can't move out of the room prematurely, but should slowly adapt to the outdoor environment." Mr. Wu said that flower growers should also pay attention to the fact that some plants do not die in winter, but they are easy to die after the beginning of spring, especially as soon as the spring breeze blows. This is because these plants have weakened after a winter, so indoor flowers for the winter cannot be put in the tuyere, nor can they be moved out prematurely. Generally, they can only leave the house after the Qingming Festival.

As a flower grower, Mr. Wu also reminded flower lovers that there are several kinds of flowers that are suitable to buy but not suitable for self-cultivation, such as chrysanthemums, daffodils, azaleas, cyclamen, etc., the market price is not expensive, self-cultivation is time-consuming and laborious. It would be better to buy a few pots in season and go home to appreciate them. "like chrysanthemums, it takes half a year to grow three or five pots by yourself, and they are not as good as those planted in large areas by florists, and they are not worth the effort."
