How to deal with frostbite in succulent winter?

If you have frostbite, you need to apply a hot compress so that your muscles can be more comfortable, which is a good practice, which is conducive to recovery.

Put it in a room with a room temperature of about 5 to 10 degrees Celsius, let it recover on its own, and remove those areas that have been frostbitten, rub a little antibacterium on the wound, and remember not to water and expose to the sun.

After frostbite occurs in the succulent, it needs to be placed in an environment of 5 degrees Celsius for a day to determine the frostbite of the plant. If the leaves appear transparent and watery, they need to be transplanted to an environment with a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius for cultivation, and if the leaves have a large area of frostbite and hydration, it is necessary to depot, cut off the frostbitten part, and then replant.

When the succulent frostbite is damaged, it needs to be moved to an environment with a temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius for a day to judge the frostbite of the plant. If the leaves appear transparent and watery, they need to be transplanted to an environment of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius to ensure a well-ventilated and sunny growing environment.

After a few days of culture, the frostbitten leaves will slowly become shriveled, a large amount of water evaporates, and finally it will become smaller and smaller, as the temperature rises, new leaves will grow, frostbitten leaves will disappear, and after fermentation, it can be used as a base fertilizer for breeding to promote better growth of plants.

However, if the succulent plant is hydrated, and a large area of leaves is frostbitten, it is necessary to cut off the frostbitten part in time to avoid the rotten wound from being in contact with the air, which is easy to be infected with germs and affect the growth and health of the plant.

It is also necessary to cut off the frostbitten part to avoid the ability of the root system to absorb water and nutrients in the soil, which can lead to malnutrition in growth. After pruning is completed, the wound needs to be coated with plant ash or carbendazim solution in time, and wait until the wound is completely healed before planting.

1. Slight frostbite: succulent leaves appear traces of frostbite, which is obviously characterized by signs of hydration and shrinkage on the leaves, becoming transparent, or even ashing, but some leaves appear frostbite. In this case, as long as the next maintenance environment does not tend to 0 (preferably 10+) succulents will have no problem surviving, and the frostbitten leaves will not recover, and sooner or later they will shrink and fall off.

Wait until spring to repot, cut off the frozen leaves.

2. Severe frostbite: Most of the leaves and even stems of succulents have traces of frostbite, obvious hydration and shrinkage, becoming transparent or even gray and blackened, like this situation is more complicated. If only the leaves show signs of frostbite and the stems are not transparent and are blackened, then place the succulents in a 10+, bright and slightly ventilated environment for about a week, do not water them during the period, remove the obvious frostbite leaves, and observe them slightly, if there is no trend of hydration, they can generally continue to survive strongly.

If the stem shows signs of transparency and softening, cut off the frostbitten stem (be sure to cut it clean, it will spread all the way if it is not removed), apply carbendazim to the wound, and then place it for observation, and wait for a period of time before cutting. If part of the stem already shows signs of frostbite in the first place, remove the frostbitten part and repeat the above steps.

Different types of fleshy flesh will appear in different states when frostbitten. Some species of succulent leaves become translucent after frostbiteAfter frostbite, some will begin to shed the leaves, or the leaves will be in a drooping state.

Succulent frostbite is actually divided into mild frostbite and severe frostbite. Succulent is a delicate and erection tolerant plant that can easily get frostbite. If the succulent is only mildly frostbitten, then as long as it is carefully maintained indoors and warmed, the frostbite can be relieved after a month or two.

However, frostbitten leaves need to be cut off manually after wilting, otherwise it may endanger the health of succulents.

If the succulents are more severely frostbitten, the succulents should be transferred to the Chang Cheng environment above 10 degrees Celsius for careful maintenance, and immediately cut off the frostbitten leaves, and maintain a good ventilation environment during the observation and maintenance period, without watering, you can also cut off the main stem with high fiber and wait for the right time to reproduce. For frostbitten plants, the owner needs to take care of them, otherwise the plants will wither or die.

If succulents are not properly managed during wintering, they will suffer from frostbite and spots, affecting the growth of plants, and if they are heavy, they will freeze, rot and even die. Therefore, doing a good job of wintering succulents is a problem that must be faced by enthusiasts. According to the actual situation of Zhejiang Province, combined with my own experience in cultivation, the author would like to talk to the majority of fairy friends on this issue.

1. In the autumn when the plants are still in the growth period, strengthen the management of water pipes to keep the plants growing vigorously and robustly, and improve their ability to withstand the cold.

2. When changing pots during the growth period, about 10% of the plant ash is mixed into the culture soil to increase potassium, improve the medium, and improve the cold resistance of the plants. When winter comes, covering the potting soil with a layer of plant ash can also improve the moisturizing and water-retaining effect of the medium and reduce the occurrence of frost damage.

3. Skillfully use the potting method: the potting method is a method to place the original potted plants in a flower pot with a slightly larger inner diameter and a certain medium inside. It can keep the temperature of the roots of the plant relatively stable, and reduce the impact of sudden temperature changes on the plant.

4. Use plastic products with strong light transmittance to manufacture small greenhouses. Plastic products with strong light transmittance are easy to obtain in daily life, such as cola bottles, disposable plastic bowls (pots, cups, etc.) plastic bags, etc., and these plastic products are placed on the plants according to their size and sleeve. The following spring, when the temperature rises, it will be removed in time.

5. Water and fertilizer should be strictly controlled in winter to keep the potting soil dry. Water near noon or in the late afternoon when the temperature is warmer, and the water temperature should be comparable to that temperature.

6. Concentrate the plants indoors in a sunny place.

7. Avoid plant damage. In terms of growth mechanism, most succulents have a winter break in winter. At this time, if the plant is accidentally damaged, the self-repair ability of the damaged part is poor, and the temperature drops sharply in disastrous weather such as cold waves, and the damage is prone to frost damage.

8. Classified management, with some emphasis: due to the difference in the climate of the native place, the cold resistance of succulents also has zones. For plants such as cactus, agave, lily, aloe vera, etc., the overwintering temperature is above 5 degrees.

Euphorbiaceae, Apricot family, etc., overwintering requirements are above 12 degrees. The room temperature of wintering such as Sedum is below 10 degrees.

9. If plastic film is used for insulation, it is necessary to ventilate and ventilate at noon when the temperature is high to avoid mildew and decay of plants in a long-term high temperature environment.

How to save the flesh from being frozen.

In winter, these warm and post-freezing measures can be put away

1. Mild frostbite.

Only need to move the potted succulent to the indoor warm environment, the indoor temperature should be higher than 0, the vast majority of the succulent can survive, the part of the succulent that is frozen at this time is irreversible, the frozen leaves will slowly become deflated, and wait until the spring temperature warms up, you can cut off the frozen leaves, of course, the early stage is still frostbitten succulent no longer affected by frostbite in this winter.

2.Severe frostbite.

If only the leaves show signs of frostbite and the stems are not transparent and blackened, then place the succulents in a 10+, bright and slightly ventilated environment for about a week, do not water during the period, remove the obvious frostbite leaves, and observe slightly, if there is no tendency to hydrate, you can generally continue to survive strongly. If the stem shows signs of hyalitency and softening, the frostbitten stem part is removed, if not removed, the frostbitten area will continue to spread, and then apply carbendazim to the wound, and then place it for observation, and wait for a period of time before cutting.

Generally, succulents cannot be asked if they are severely frozen in winter. If it is mild, you can take it back and slow it down.
