December is approaching and winter has taken the center stage. The temperature will gradually become colder. At this time, most of the flowers and plants have entered a dormant state to get through the cold season. For a plant-loving gardener, what maintenance measures should be taken after the flowers enter dormancy? Let's take a look at how to help the plants survive the winter safely.
Rose
Rose is a flower that many people like to grow. Generally speaking, roses can enter a dormant state in winter. At this time, it is recommended to control the room temperature at about 5 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius, you can cover the pot with a plastic bag to increase the temperature and keep it warm. Regarding the water demand in winter, the demand for water decreases during dormancy. It is recommended to water the plants at noon when it is warmer, and use water with a temperature similar to the room temperature. At the same time, fertilization can almost be ignored in winter, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle is one of the plants that many retired workers like to grow. It has certain medicinal value. After entering winter, it also enters a dormant state with a room temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, you can also cover the pot with a plastic bag to keep warm. The principle of watering is to keep the soil slightly wet. After watering, avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the pot. Stop fertilizing during dormancy and resume fertilization when the temperature rises in spring.
Pomegranate Tree
The pomegranate tree is also a flower that many gardeners grow at home. In winter, it also enters a dormant state. The room temperature should be controlled at about 5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, you can wrap the flower pot and the trunk with insulating plastic to raise the temperature. During the dormancy of the pomegranate tree, the demand for water is very small. Just keep the soil slightly wet when watering. Do not fertilize in winter to avoid damaging the roots.
Milan
Milan is an evergreen woody flower. In winter, it is necessary to ensure that the room temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius, otherwise it is easy to die directly. Although it loves a humid environment, watering should also be appropriate in winter to avoid water accumulation in the pot. It is recommended to water at noon when it is warmer.
