What to do if the green radish withers in winter? How to water the green radish if it withers in winter

The green radish is a large evergreen vine native to the tropics. It has a certain air purification function and is a common green plant variety for home or decoration. If it is properly maintained, the leaves of the green radish will be lush and green. However, in winter, the green radish often wilts, turns yellow, has black tips, and curls its leaves due to improper maintenance. The following is a detailed explanation of the causes and treatments for this situation.

What to do if the green radish withers in winter

The green radish is a tropical plant that likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment, and the most suitable temperature is 20-25 degrees. The temperature is often lower in winter, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. When the temperature is low, especially below 15 degrees, it is easy for the leaves to wilt and turn yellow.

Treatment measures: Ensure the temperature of the maintenance environment by adding heat sources or replacing the maintenance environment as soon as possible. Ensure that the temperature is above 15 degrees or even 20 degrees. Some people may think that the temperature in the house is quite high and there is no such problem. Then you should pay attention to whether the temperature at night can be guaranteed. On the other hand, whether it is close to the window. The temperature near the window in the north is still relatively low in winter.

How to water the green radish when it wilts

The green radish is a vine plant with many large leaves. If it is not watered enough, in addition to growing many thick aerial roots from the vines, the plant will also wilt, curl, or even wither. This is mainly due to insufficient water supply, the dry air, and the loss of water in the leaf bubble cells.

Treatment measures: Use dried water to irrigate the roots as soon as possible, and spray water on the leaves and spray around to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. However, the foliar spray should be done in bright light as much as possible, not at night.

Is Pothos frost-resistant in winter?

Many people grow green radish every year, but they cannot survive the winter. The main reason is that they do not understand its growth habits. Green radish is a herbaceous plant that cannot tolerate severe cold. When the ambient temperature is below 10℃ in winter, its growth basically stops. Frostbite can occur at around 5℃, and the leaves become transparent, yellow or even black. Therefore, in autumn and winter, when the ambient temperature is close to 10℃, the green radish grown outdoors should be moved indoors and placed in a warm diffuse light environment to survive the winter.

The green radish has a strong ability to adapt and can grow even in a relatively shaded environment, but the growth rate is slow and the condition is not good. In winter, the overall light time is short, so when caring for it, you should pay attention to increasing the light appropriately, or move it to a place close to the light, to ensure the length of time of "radiation" of bright light, so as to ensure its photosynthesis.
