With the coming of winter, the temperature is getting colder day by day, and our flowers and plants also need special care. Because in the cold season, many plants correspondingly enter a dormant or semi-dormant state, and their demand for water is greatly reduced. If you still water them at the frequency of summer at this time, it may easily lead to root rot or affect the health of the plants. Let's talk about which plants need "dry cultivation" in winter below.
Wedding Spider Plant
This is a plant with extremely beautiful flowers and leaves. It can be placed on the decorative desk or hung on the balcony of the office because this plant is relatively shade-tolerant. It is not very cold-resistant. When the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, you should reduce the watering frequency and just keep the soil slightly wet. This can prevent the plant from being damaged. When the temperature drops to about 10 degrees, you can directly stop watering it to protect the plant from cold damage.
Crown of Thorns
Crown of Thorns is a drought-tolerant and sun-loving plant, but when maintaining it in winter, you should reduce the watering frequency and only consider watering when the soil is 40% dry. When the temperature is lower than 5 °C, the watering frequency should be further reduced. At the same time, increase the light time during the day, which can enhance its cold resistance. Dry-cultivating plants in winter can help prevent root diseases caused by overly wet soil.
Desert Rose
The flowers of Desert Rose are extremely beautiful, so many flower lovers like it very much. However, in winter, its roots are extremely sensitive to cold, and the growth temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees. If it is lower than that, it may easily die. In winter, keep its soil dry and avoid frostbite caused by low temperature. It is recommended to create a suitable temperature indoors for it to survive the cold winter.
Jasmine
Jasmine has a fascinating fragrance after blooming. In winter maintenance, it is a flower that is not cold-resistant. Therefore, you must keep the soil relatively dry and don't water it too much. Avoid yellow leaves and withering caused by low temperature or low humidity. To ensure its healthy growth, it is recommended to keep the environment above 10 °C in winter and appropriately cut off the withered flowers and yellow leaves.
