How to spend the winter with medlar bonsai

Potted medlar cultivated at home is not cold resistant compared with wild medlar, so thermal insulation measures should be taken

Watering treatment

When Chinese wolfberry is going to survive the winter, it is necessary to make preparations in advance. First, it is watered. Chinese wolfberry has a dormancy period of 4 months in winter

In summer, when July is the hottest, medlar will also be in dormancy for a month

Lycium barbarum during dormancy is sleeping. Generally, the plant will not grow again, so pay attention not to water during the dormancy of Lycium barbarum, because excessive watering will affect its dormancy and cause the growth of new branches, which will freeze to death

Control water volume

When watering, you can measure whether the basin soil is dry. If the basin soil is dry, you can water it. If not, don't water it

When watering, you can stop watering when you see that the basin soil is slightly wet

Lycium barbarum is a drought resistant plant, so you must not accumulate water, otherwise the plant will rot its roots, which will affect its normal growth. In particular, if you water too much in winter, the plant will not be able to maintain its own heat, and it is easy to freeze to death

Temperature management

Keep warm in the first month before winter. You can put the potted plants in a sunny place to ensure sufficient light

If it is very cold, you can use plastic film to wrap the basin and the plants together, and pay attention to frequent ventilation, so that you can keep warm

Wait until the temperature rises and then remove the plastic film

Be careful not to put the plant next to the heating, so as not to burn the plant, stop the growth of the plant, or die

Well, how can medlar survive the winter safely? Do you know
