Here are some suggestions for the Fortune Tree to survive the winter:
1.Temperature control:
Fortune trees are hardy, but they still need to be kept at the right temperature. In winter, try to place the fortune tree in a warm, well-ventilated indoor environment and avoid exposure to extreme cold outdoor environments. The optimum temperature range is 10-18°C.
2.Lighting Management:
Fortune trees do not require much light, but they still need the right amount of sunlight to maintain healthy growth. In winter, try to choose a location that is bright but not in direct sunlight. If the light in the room is low, consider using artificial lights to supplement the light.
3.Water Saving Control:
During the winter months, the activity of the fortune tree slows down and the water requirement is relatively low. Reduce the number of watering times and keep the soil moderately moist. Take care to avoid standing water and excessive wetting to prevent root rot.
4.Avoid dry environments:
In winter, indoor air is usually dry, which can easily lead to dehydration of the leaves of the fortune tree. The following measures can be taken to increase air humidity:
Use a humidifier or place a water tray to increase indoor humidity.
Keep the plants away from direct heat jets from the heat to avoid exacerbating the dryness.
5.Touching windows and icy surfaces:
Avoid placing the fortune tree in direct contact with cold windows or icy surfaces to avoid frostbite on the roots. Place it at a distance from a window or place insulation in front of a window to block the effects of cold air on the plant.
6.Timely treatment of pests and diseases:
Closely observe the health status of the fortune tree and detect pests and diseases in time. Winter pests and diseases spread relatively slowly, but they still need to be dealt with in a timely manner so as not to seriously affect the health of the plants. Suitable insecticides, fungicides or other methods can be used for control.
