What temperature is used for potted orange trees and what is the lowest cold-resistant temperature?

During the Spring Festival, many friends like to buy a pot of orange trees and put them in the right place at home to increase the festive atmosphere. The orange trees on the market have been potted by the merchants, so we can just spend money to buy them back home. However, the temperature during the annual Spring Festival is often relatively low, especially in the north, even if the potted plants will not be frostbitten will affect their beautiful posture. So, what temperature is suitable for potted orange trees? What is the lowest cold resistance temperature?

In fact, the orange tree is a kind of fruit tree with poor cold tolerance. In the cold winter season, we need to provide warm and cold protection measures for it in time. Orange trees are not very afraid of heat, but when the temperature is too high, they will enter dormancy and affect blossom and fruit, but they are more afraid of the cold. When entering the late autumn and the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, it should be moved into the indoor maintenance. And the temperature in winter environment should be kept between 6-12 ℃, because freezing injury is easy to occur when the temperature is too low.

As ornamental potted orange trees, we need to pay special attention to keeping warm and keeping warm in winter. Because the winter temperature is too low, if we do not take timely measures to keep warm and keep warm, once the freezing damage occurs, it will not only affect the appearance, but also more difficult to recover. Therefore, the winter temperature must not be lower than 5 ℃, that is to say, the lowest cold temperature of orange trees is 5-6 ℃, let alone put the plants outside. Because the outdoor temperature in winter is generally lower than this critical temperature.

Of course, the fact that the temperature is low in winter cannot be changed. We must take good measures to keep warm and keep warm to ensure that ornamental potted orange trees survive the winter safe and sound. Although the outdoor temperature is relatively low in winter, we can't keep it indoors in one winter, because the indoor light is often weak, and plants like a warm, sunny growing environment.

In view of this, we can move the plant outdoors in clear winter weather, especially when the temperature is high at noon, so that it can fully receive light to promote photosynthesis and growth. However, if the outdoor temperature is still very low even when there is sunshine, especially in the north, even on a sunny day, the outdoor temperature may be lower than 0 ℃, so it is not suitable to move it outdoors.

Since potted orange trees like warmth and light, and when the temperature is too low on a sunny day, it is not suitable to move outdoors, what should we do? Well, we can still keep it indoors. After all, we can't freeze the plant to receive light. We can move it indoors near the windowsill, as long as it receives as much light as possible.
