How to raise the wishful queen in winter?

Queen Ruyi, a foliage plant of Araceae, is a perennial herb. The leaves are broad, colorful and shiny, which is a very special foliage plant. It has strong shade tolerance and easy maintenance, and has such a "gorgeous" name. There is a pot in the living room, which is very eye-catching and has a beautiful meaning, so it is loved by many flower friends.

Queen ruyi is a plant that is afraid of cold. Winter is coming, how to protect a beautiful wishful queen? What are the specific measures? Let's discuss it in detail with the flower friends below, hoping to help the flower friends in need.

The growth habit of ruyi queen

Ruyi Queen likes bright scattered light, avoiding strong light, and should do shade maintenance in summer. If she doesn't do shade maintenance in summer, she may die at noon. Queen ruyi likes a warm growing environment and is not cold-tolerant. In winter, she can tolerate the lowest temperature above 8℃ at most. If the ambient temperature is below 5℃, she will be killed directly. The most suitable environmental temperature for her growth is between 20℃ and 30℃. In order to make it overwinter safely, it is very important to control the ambient temperature. For safety reasons, it must be above 10℃. Queen ruyi likes a relatively humid growing environment. If the air humidity in the conservation environment is too low, it is difficult to raise the wishful queen. If it is too dry, the plants will grow poorly and the leaves will turn yellow and dry.

The above briefly introduces the growth habits of Ruyi Queen. Let's discuss with the flower friends some points that Queen Ruyi needs to pay attention to in winter.

First, heat preservation and antifreeze

Ruyi queen is not cold-tolerant, and protecting Ruyi queen in winter is the first priority. The potted plants of Ruyi Queen must be placed in an environment above 10℃. There is generally no antifreeze problem in the southern region, but it is also necessary to do a good job of "cold prevention". In case of extreme temperature, potted plants should be moved indoors in time; In areas with central heating in the north, it is basically no problem for Ruyi Queen to spend the winter. It should be noted that indoor maintenance must be carried out in advance in winter, and it is best to move indoors for maintenance in time when the ambient temperature is 15℃.

Second, moderate illumination.

Queen ruyi mainly looks at leaves, which are colorful. In order to keep the leaves bright and shiny, moderate illumination is essential. Daily maintenance needs to place the Queen Ruyi plant in an environment with bright scattered light. But the sunshine in winter is mild, so you can directly accept direct sunlight. Mild sunshine in winter can not only provide conditions for photosynthesis of leaves, but also effectively raise the temperature of conservation environment. In winter, under the condition of moderate temperature and sufficient sunshine, it can also promote the growth of Ruyi Queen, improve the environmental resistance of plants, and provide corresponding guarantee for the smooth overwintering;

Third, control watering.

Ruyi Queen likes humid soil environment and has certain drought tolerance. In the process of daily maintenance, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist without water accumulation for a long time. In winter, the environmental temperature is low, plants grow slowly, the demand for water is correspondingly reduced, and the evaporation of water in the soil itself will be much slower. At the same time, too much water will also reduce the temperature of the planting soil. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to properly control the number of times to water Queen Ruyi to prevent the soil from being too wet for a long time and plants from growing with water. In the long run, it is easy to cause retting and root rot. There is one thing that needs special attention here. In winter, the indoor air in the north is heated, the temperature is high and the air is dry, so the demand for water of Ruyi Queen will not decrease accordingly. In addition to maintaining the normal watering frequency, it is also necessary to spray water mist on the plants and the surrounding microenvironment regularly to increase the air humidity of the microenvironment and ensure the freshness of the plants of Ruyi Queen.

Fourth, put an end to fertilization

When the temperature is right, the Queen Ruyi grows fast and needs a lot of fertilizer. She should apply multi-element compound fertilizer to plants at least twice a month. After maintaining the healthy growth of plants, she should supplement the plants with appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before winter. After improving the cold resistance of plants, plants will slow down or stop growing after winter. At this time, she should stop applying any fertilizer to it. Under the condition of low ambient temperature, fertilization can not only make plants grow stronger. Therefore, it is forbidden to apply any fertilizer to Queen Ruyi in winter.

Summary: Ruyi Queen likes warmth and is afraid of cold, and the first priority of winter maintenance is to do a good job of cold protection. It is necessary to ensure that the temperature of its maintenance environment is above 10℃ in winter. In winter, in order to maintain Queen Ruyi, it is necessary not only to ensure the ambient temperature, but also to give her plants sufficient light, moderately control the frequency of watering, and put an end to fertilizing plants.
