Do you want to move indoors

Yes

Yiyelan likes a warm and slightly humid environment, with a relative humidity of 50 ~ 70%. Usually, it's OK. In winter, the outside environment is so bad that you don't want to stay outside more, let alone plants. Moreover, the temperature requirements are very high in winter. If it is lower than 8 ℃, the growth will stop. Especially in case of frost, it will basically be unable to live. So we must move indoors for the winter, not even the open-air balcony

Do you still need fertilizer

Yes

Monophyllum is still growing in winter, but the temperature is low and the growth is slow. During this period, the requirements for water and fertilizer are not high, so we should control water and fertilizer. The cycle of fertilizer and water follows the sequence of "fertilization - watering - watering - fertilization - watering - watering", with an interval of 4 ~ 7 days. The watering time should be at noon when the temperature is high

Can you cut off all the leaves

Absolutely not

Although the sun is very weak in winter, yiyelan can still accumulate nutrients through photosynthesis. If all the leaves are cut off, it will affect the accumulation of nutrients, resulting in the failure of normal growth and reproduction of new buds in spring, and weak buds are easy to appear. There may also be some adverse phenomena, such as abnormal deformities such as yellow leaves, leaflets, weak stems and short plants

In winter, some diseased leaves can be cut off, and the older leaves of yellow leaves can be retained, which is conducive to its growth. Secondly, when the old leaves lack nutrients in the basin, they will turn their nutrients to new leaves to supplement the growth of new leaves. Therefore, unless it is a diseased leaf, other leaves should be trimmed less before winter

The ultimate way to deal with cold winter

When the ambient temperature is below 3 ℃, the correct treatment method is: wrap it with film for overwintering, but uncover the film every two days when the temperature is high at noon to let it breathe; If it's troublesome and ugly, you'd better move it to a heated room for the winter
