How to care for garlic vine in winter

The ambient temperature in most areas is low in winter, especially in the north, which is not suitable for open-air cultivation. If you grow garlic vines in pots, you need to place the flower pots in a warm room for maintenance after the ambient temperature drops in winter. The room temperature should be controlled between 5-10°C to help the garlic vines survive the winter safely.

To ensure sufficient light, let the garlic vine get as much sun as possible. During winter weather conditions, the flowerpot can be moved to a place with sufficient sunlight outdoors. It should also be placed in a brightly lit place, which has a certain warming effect, and can help the garlic vine bloom smoothly and enhance its ornamental value.
