Will you freeze to death in winter?Do you want to move the moon season to the house for the winter?
Due to the cold weather, flower lovers in the north are particularly concerned about the problem of wintering in the moon season. In fact, the moon flower is very cold tolerant. The vast majority of the moon season can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C, and some varieties can even withstand temperatures as low as -20°C. Flower lovers in most areas of the south and central regions do not have to worry about the overwintering of the moon flowers, because the moon season can tolerate a certain low temperature, it is completely possible to overwinter outdoors in the open field. Flower friends in the north, as long as the temperature is not lower than minus 15 °C in winter, they can spend the winter outdoors in the open field, and the ground planting does not need to be cold-proof. If it is in the northeast or northwest of the cold region, the winter temperature is below minus 20 °C, then it is necessary to take measures to protect the moon season. Potted plants should be moved to a cold room with a temperature of not less than -10°C.
In order to make the moon season safely overwinter, you can use some well-rotted organic fertilizer and multi-compound fertilizer for the moon season in late autumn, and then rest assured that the moon season is dormant. The dormancy of the moon season also requires a certain low temperature, and the appropriate low temperature is an important condition for the dormancy of the moon season. If it is planted outdoors, it can be allowed to lie dormant naturally, and if it is a potted plant, it can be buried in the open air with pots. After these measures are implemented, the low temperature in winter allows the moon season to sleep safely.
Winter dormancy is of great significance. First of all, it can recuperate, accumulate nutrients, accumulate energy, and lay a good foundation for blooming well and more flowers in spring. Secondly, the moon season is fuller after the dormant bud point. Only through dormancy will the germination be more vigorous in the next year, and the flowering will be more and more showy. On the other hand, if the moon season is wintered at a temperature of 20 degrees in the heating room, there is no condition for the moon season to hibernate, and the moon season cannot be naturally dormant, which is not good for the growth of the moon season. In winter, if it grows, it will consume too much nutrients and cannot store energy, resulting in poor germination in the next year.
Someone has personally experienced such a thing, after putting the moon season in the heating room, although the winter moon season blooms, but it is too tired, and as a result, when spring comes, these beautiful flowers die because of poor maintenance, as the saying goes, it is too much effort. Therefore, winter is crucial for the management of the moon season.
In order to allow the moon season to overwinter, certain measures should also be taken. Proper measures can help them safely overwinter and prepare for growth and flowering in the coming year. First and foremost, freeze protection is key. In winter, when temperatures are low, moonflowers are susceptible to frostbite, especially in ground-grown plants. Insulation measures such as plastic film, straw mats, etc., can be used. Secondly, winter pruning is also an important task. When pruning, you can prune the branches and leaves more finely to conserve nutrients and allow the roots to accumulate more energy. At the same time, moisturizing and fertilizing are also essential steps. Although the winter flowers are dormant, they still need to be properly watered to keep the soil moist. Proper fertilizer application can provide enough energy for the roots and branches.
In addition, winter is also a good time to get rid of insects. Regular spraying of pesticides can be effective in controlling pests and diseases. When pruning the flowers in winter, the following steps can be taken: first cut off half of the whole, except for the vines;It is also a basic principle to leave thin and thick and cross branches not to be left;The joints cannot be retained in order to prevent the formation of clumps of branches that cause nutrient dispersion;Finally, the old and sick branches are all cut off, and the nutrients of the month and season are concentrated to supply more energetic new branches and young branches, which are the main force for flowering next spring. These steps not only allow the moon season to sleep better in winter, but also lay a solid foundation for growth and flowering in the coming year.
In South China, there is no problem of overwintering and dormancy in the moon and season, and normal management is enough.
