Hi, guys! It's been a while since I last stopped by the BonBee blog to give you some tips. But because of the heavy frosts that are occurring in different cities of the country, I have been motivated to write about how to take care of your plants at this time of the year.
Do you notice that they are losing almost all their leaves or that they are starting to look dry, yellow and without vitality and brightness? Calm down and be patient! It is normal for this to happen to them. The cold causes their cells to freeze, preventing nutrients and water from passing through them.
As a result you may find dull leaves, weak stems, vulnerable roots and total drought that can lead to death. But don't panic yet, we at BonBee will help you!
What are you going to do? In these simple steps I explain it to you
- The first thing you should do is to check where your pots are located. If they are in a very cold place or outdoors, it is necessary that you provide them with a space at home so that they become healthy and strong again. They can be grouped in the same place by placing them next to a wall.
- It is important to reduce watering to prevent water from freezing due to the cold and getting trapped in the soil. Keep in mind that the roots are the most sensitive part of the plants and, if they are damaged, it will be almost impossible to recover them.
- If for some reason you cannot bring the pots inside, it will be necessary to protect the soil from the low temperatures. I recommend that you mulch the soil with straw or dry leaves to help the soil retain its heat and prevent the roots from being affected.
If these little tricks have arrived late...
