How to spend the winter in boxwood bonsai and can boxwood be transplanted in winter

1. Control the temperature.

Small boxwood is not a very frost-resistant plant, so when maintaining it in winter, we must pay attention to controlling the temperature of the maintenance environment. The best growing environment between 8 and 26 is the best for boxwood, and if the temperature is lower than 8 in winter, it is necessary to move the boxwood into the home and carry out the corresponding thermal insulation treatment.

2. Watering a small amount.

The boxwood does not require much water in winter, especially when it is too cold, and if you water too much, the plant will not only not be able to absorb it, but will also freeze due to the cold water. Many flower friends don't know how to raise boxwood in winter, in fact, it is best not to water, just occasionally add some water to the soil, and maintain the basic humidity of the soil.

3. Plenty of sunlight.

Boxwood is a plant that loves the sun very much, and if you want it to survive the winter, it is best to keep it in full sunlight to avoid the phenomenon of long yellow leaves. Winter sunlight is like nourishment for boxwood, and the more sunlight you have, the healthier your plants will be.

1. Avoid fertilization.

In winter, boxwood can not be fertilized, which will cause fertilizer damage and affect the health of the plant. But if you want the boxwood to survive the winter, you should fertilize the boxwood plants in autumn in advance, and try to use potassium fertilizer, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer, which can improve the cold resistance of the boxwood in winter.

2. Prune the branches and buds.

The boxwood has stopped growing in the winter, so try not to prune it in the winter. But in the autumn before winter, you can prune the shoots in moderation. Prune off the thin and weak branches on the boxwood plant and keep the strongest shoots in the plant, so that the nutrients will not leak out in winter, and there will be enough nutrients to withstand the cold.

3. Heating method.

Many people don't know how to keep boxwood plants warm in winter, in fact, in addition to the more light mentioned above, you can also paint the boxwood branches white, or tie straw ropes to the trunk to keep warm. However, this method is more suitable for outdoor large small boxwood trees. You can also cover the ground with a layer of plastic film or hay to keep you warm.

Boxwood can be transplanted in winter, but the survival rate of transplanting at this time is low, especially when the ground freezes, and boxwood transplanting should stop water and fertilizer a week ago, and prepare loose and fertile, well-drained soil for it, after pruning the root system, slowly plant boxwood into the soil, then fill the soil compact, water to keep the soil moist, and finally cover with a layer of plastic film.

Boxwood can be transplanted in winter, but the survival rate of transplanted plants is low at this time, especially when there is ground freezing, and according to the growth habit of boxwood, the best transplanting time of the plant is around Qingming every year, and the boxwood with strong growth, lush branches and leaves, and strong resistance is selected for planting.

First prepare loose and fertile soil with good drainage, then dig holes on the soil surface, prune the root system of boxwood seedlings with sterilized scissors to reduce nutrient consumption and help improve the survival rate of plants, and then slowly put boxwood into the pit, and slowly fill the soil to compaction, water to keep the soil moist, and finally cover with a layer of plastic film.

After the boxwood recovers its growth, it can slowly restore the light, promote sufficient photosynthesis of the leaves, which is conducive to the synthesis and uniform supply of nutrients, and water every three to five days, and apply organic fertilizer every month to promote the growth of branches and leaves.

A week before transplanting boxwood, stop water and fertilizer, in order to facilitate it to be taken out of the potting soil, and after transplanting is completed, it is necessary to carry out regular cultivation and weeding to keep the soil soft and fertile, which is conducive to the root system to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, in addition, the soil can be mixed with garden soil, humus soil, and river sand in a ratio of four to four to two.

1. Suitable temperature.

The temperature in winter is relatively low, and the hardwood ability is not very good, so the most important task in winter is to protect against the cold and keep warm. Specifically, 8 to 26 degrees is the most appropriate, preferably not lower than 6 degrees, otherwise it may endanger the safety of boxwood. If it is a potted plant, it can be moved indoors directly for maintenance.

Alternatively, you can paint white on its branches to keep it warm, or wrap rope around its trunk. For ground-planted boxwood, it is better to cover it with a layer of plastic film.

Second, the right amount of water.

The boxwood does not require much water in winter, so it cannot be watered too much, otherwise the plant will not be able to absorb it, and it will also suffer from frost damage because the water is too cold. When it is observed that the soil is very dry, you can water it a little. Of course, it is also possible to leave it alone.

3. Sufficient light.

The boxwood itself loves light, and light can also help it survive the winter and can also prevent it from growing. If you're indoors, be sure to pick a well-lit location.

Fourth, do not fertilize.

Fertilization can be stopped in winter, otherwise it will cause non-return and affect wintering. To increase its ability to withstand the cold, some Bika water-soluble fertilizer can be used in the fall.

5. Prune.

Before winter approaches, it is best to prune once, keeping the strongest branches and cutting off the weak, too small branches. This reduces nutrient consumption, promotes safe wintering, and also facilitates growth the following year.

Potted Brother Liang boxwood raises orange keys in winter, and the round rock does not freeze to death, especially solid.

1. The ecological habits of boxwood species generally have a certain cold tolerance. However, due to the huge temperature difference between the north and south of China, some areas must be frost-proof and warm in winter, while others can winter outdoors. For Dalian in the northern region only, family-farmed large pots of boxwood bonsai can also be wintered outdoors after long-term exercise.

The method is: in the event of continuous severe frost, cover it with reed lotus seeds or old quilts at night. Due to the poor cold resistance of small trees, they should be kept warm and frost-proof, or moved indoors.

The suitable temperature for the growth of boxwood is 15 25 degrees, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, especially the potted small-leaved boxwood, in winter, when encountering severe frost or continuous low temperature and severe cold, it should be anti-freezing and warm, to avoid heavy frost and freezing, otherwise it is easy to cause yellow leaves to be scorched, and serious ones will be frozen to death.

For large-scale potted boxwoods cultivated outdoors, after winter, you can use straw or plastic film and other mulches to wrap the bonsai from top to bottom, and you can safely overwinter. When spring comes next, unwrap and prune off the dead branches and leaves, and it will regenerate bright green leaves.

3. The boxwood bonsai planted in small pots has low frost resistance, and can be moved into the greenhouse for maintenance, and when the room temperature is kept at about 10 degrees, its leaves can still be rich and green.

For those who are new to boxwood bonsai, in winter, it is best to place it in a three-sided sealed and ventilated plastic shed built outdoors in a sunny and windy place, which not only conforms to the ecological habits of boxwood species, but also helps it to sleep naturally and prevent heavy frost.

4. It can also be cured in an air-ventilated room or a low-temperature greenhouse. But don't put it in a bedroom with poor air circulation and a relatively dry environment, so that the leaves will be yellow and fall at worst, and it will decay at worst.
