Techniques for Flower Cultivation in Winter in the Southern Region
• Although it is warm in winter in the southern region, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. Flowers should be placed near a warm and sunny windowsill, avoiding being directly blown by cold wind. For flowers with poor cold tolerance, a small electric heater can be used to locally increase the temperature of the flowers, but attention should be paid to electrical safety.
• The air is dry in winter, and a humidifier can be used to increase the air humidity, or a water basin can be placed around the flowers to increase the humidity through water evaporation. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid placing the flowers too close to the heating radiator to prevent the leaves from being dried out.
• Flowers grow slowly in winter, and their demand for water is greatly reduced. Generally speaking, watering once every 7 to 10 days is sufficient. The best time to water is at noon when the temperature is relatively high, avoiding watering in the morning or evening to prevent the water temperature from being too low and freezing the roots. When watering, water thoroughly but do not allow water to accumulate to avoid root rot.
• Flowers grow slowly in winter and do not need too much fertilizer. A phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can be applied once before winter to enhance the cold resistance of the flowers. Try to apply less fertilizer or no fertilizer throughout the winter to avoid fertilizer damage. If a flower shows signs of poor growth in winter, a small amount of diluted liquid fertilizer can be applied, but the concentration should not be too high.
• Dead branches, diseased branches, and withered flowers of the flowers should be cut off in a timely manner to reduce nutrient consumption and maintain the beauty and health of the plants. At the same time, attention should be paid to pest and disease prevention and control, keeping the indoor ventilation good, regularly checking the leaves and branches of the flowers, and once signs of pests and diseases are detected, corresponding prevention and control measures should be taken in a timely manner.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have already had a preliminary understanding of the flower varieties suitable for cultivation in winter in the southern region and the flower cultivation techniques. In the leisure time of winter, you might as well try to plant these beautiful flowers at home to add a touch of vitality and fun to life.
