Nepenthes overwintering, how pitcher plants overwinter

Nepenthes is the most afraid of cold, according to measurements:

Below 15 degrees, the lower leaves of Nepenthes begin to turn yellow.

At about 10 degrees, scarlet pitcher plants, apple pitcher plants, gentleman pitcher plants, etc. have frostbite spots.

Below 5 degrees, Nepenthes red-bottled has frostbite spots.

Pigs below 5 degrees, apples 10 degrees for a few days of low temperatures can cause the death of the whole tree.

In general, most varieties of pitcher plants are safe above 15 degrees! The most widely planted Nepenthes red-bottled has no problem above 10 degrees, and it will not be lethal at 5-10 degrees for a short time, but it cannot be below 5 degrees.

When the temperature is too low, the pitcher plant needs to be heated. For example, small plants can be placed in a container that can be sealed such as a sorting box, fish tank, small simple greenhouse, etc., and heated with heating rods, heating pads, adding **, concentrating lamps, and even ordinary household bulbs.

If it is a large plant, it can be placed in a closed greenhouse or other confined environment, and heated by heating equipment such as heat collector lamps and hot air fans.

The heating temperature should ideally reach about 25 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 15 degrees Celsius (if you know the temperature tolerance of your individual plant very well, it can also be controlled above its critical temperature).

Heating generally requires electricity, remember to pay attention to safety!

It is also possible in an apartment, the key is light, temperature, humidity.

In winter, you can give enough light, the temperature is better than 20, the humidity is better than 70%, and the least is not lower than 60%, otherwise it will affect growth.

As for fertilization and watering, it should be carried out according to the ambient temperature and humidity, the higher the temperature and humidity, the more frequent the watering, and vice versa, the frequency should be reduced. Under the conditions of suitable growth temperature, fertilizer can be watered.

Also, don't just heat it up, put it on the air conditioner's tuyere or around the radiator, it won't do it any good!

The sun can shine in on the line, if you spend the winter, put a bag or directly take a larger transparent bag to put the whole pot in, and there is no problem around the air outlet or radiator, and you can ventilate it every day. Put the one in the aquarium. Not fully soaked.。

It is water vapor produced by heating water. It's both insulating and moisturizing.,But it feels like the water evaporates pretty quickly.。。 I don't know how much pitcher plant you raise, and I don't know what breed you raise.

ps a certain building, fertilization is a very sacred thing for pigs...

The red-bottle pitcher plant sold in the ordinary flower market, if it is placed indoors in Suzhou, it can overwinter normally, and the leaves will be yellow and withered, but new leaves will grow next year. No heating is required.

There is no need for an aquarium either. Of course, it is not a whole tree soaked in water, but a layer of water underneath, and then the pig is placed on top without touching the water.

Be careful of frostbite, can't get a cage, I have this experience, it's best to cover the flower pot with cotton cloth and cover it with 'greenhouse' plastic wrap!

Nepenthes likes a warm environment, but is afraid of cold, it doesn't matter if the temperature difference is slightly larger, as long as the temperature is controlled at 10 15, remember that the temperature can not be lower than 10, not higher than 35

Moisture here refers to the watering as well as the humidity of the air. In winter, the temperature is relatively low, and the amount of watering should be controlled, which is relatively reduced compared to other seasons. However, it is still important to maintain the humidity of the air and sprinkle water around the plants frequently.

The first point is that the temperature in the south is relatively high in winter, and the temperature can be kept outdoors when the temperature is up to standard, and when the temperature is lower than 10, it can be considered to be moved indoors.

The second point is that the winter in the north is cold, and there will be freezing outside, when you put the pitcher plant indoors for maintenance, do not put it by the window, the temperature is low, the water vapor around the window is heavy, and the temperature on the side by the window is low, which is not conducive to the growth of the pitcher plant.

Point 3 Move outside in the morning when the sun comes out, and then move inside in the evening to ensure that you can receive sunlight during the day. In winter, the sun is weak, and it is generally possible to bask in the sun all day. If you want to let the pitcher plant stay outside overnight, you can also wrap the pitcher plant in plastic film and wrap it in a layer of newspaper, which should be thicker to protect it from freezing.

Fourth, if you are in the north, have enough money and time, you can use a heating rod and increase the temperature appropriately. Of course, there is less sun in winter, so you can manually fill in the light and use fluorescent lamps (there is still a certain cost!). ）

1. First of all, the pitcher plant should be kept warm in winter, and it is best to keep the pitcher plant at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius or above at the base of the ear.

1. The hidden clan of the dipping basin method was defeated. Find a container that's slightly larger than the pot and fill it with water with less minerals, and dip the pot in so that the water soaks just over the edge of the pot. This method can control both temperature and humidity without causing too much temperature difference to harm Nepenthes.

2. Put a transparent plastic bag to protect the plants to ensure that the pitcher plant in the bag is not subject to excessive temperature difference.

2. Provide adequate light.

Method: Nepenthes should be placed in a sunny place in winter. Focal fibrillation.

3. The digestive function of pitcher plants will be reduced in winter, and the insects should be fed less and smaller.

Nepenthes especially regrets that the eldest grandson prefers a hot environment, specifically, 20 to 30 degrees is the most suitable. As a result, pitcher plants farmed in the north generally do not grow very well unless attention is paid to adjusting the temperature. You can pay less attention to the beginning of autumn, but it will be regulated at the end of autumn (especially in the north).

If the conditions are not sufficient, the standard can be lowered appropriately, but at least above ten degrees.

Nepenthes itself is more light-loving, but is afraid of too strong light. Therefore, too strong light should be avoided at the beginning of autumn. You can put on some tools like blackout nets.

Nepenthes needs a lot of water, and if the temperature can reach 30 degrees Celsius in early autumn, then it should be watered two to three times a day. As the temperature decreases, the amount of watering can be slowly reduced, but it is still necessary to keep the soil in a suitable moist state.

In the fall, it has a demand for fertilizer, but not much. There is not much requirement for the type, you can use organic fertilizer, you can also use chemical fertilizer. The number of times should not be too much, the concentration should not be too high, and the amount should not be too large. Also, be careful to water in time after each fertilization.

In spring and autumn, it is afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter.

First of all, the pitcher plant should be kept warm in winter, (if possible, it is best to keep the temperature for the pitcher plant at 20 degrees Celsius or above, otherwise it will be too cold, and the pitcher plant will reduce its surface area in order to keep warm and let the cage wither):

1.It can be used by soaking pots. Find a container that's slightly larger than the pot and fill it with soft water (i.e., water with less minerals, such as rainwater, water from air conditioning, or tap water if you live in the south), soak the pot in it, and let the water flood the edge of the pot.

This method can control both humidity and temperature. Because the specific heat capacity of water is large, it will not cause too much temperature difference to harm Nepenthes.

2.You can also put a clear plastic bag over it to protect the plant. This ensures that the plants inside the bag are not harmed by excessive temperature and humidity differences, and the same goes for them.

In addition, the light that can be provided must be as sufficient as possible, try to expose to the sun for two hours a day, and scatter the light the rest of the time. In addition, feeding bugs should be few and small, and the digestive function of pitcher plants in winter will be reduced.

May your pitcher plant grow healthy and survive the harsh winter! ～
