Winter is the coldest time of the year. And just like our skin, the flowers also need special care during this period. As Brazil is very large, the regions have different winters. In particular, in cities where winds and low temperatures occur, it is essential to protect plants.
Since humidity increases with the cold, plants end up retaining more water during the winter, so it’s important to change watering routines. If you use to wet them every daydecrease to 3 times a week.
The partner florist of Flowers OnlineJuana Martinez, also explains that with the very cold temperature and the high incidence of wind, the sun appears as an alternative for heating the environment and, consequently, for the plants.
“Leave it in a privileged place, where there is a greater incidence of sunlight. Even plants that don’t like direct contact with the sun need an extra dose of light and heat during this season, ”he points out.

To avoid pests and diseases, it is important to only water the soil and not the plants. Preferably, carry out this action in the morning, as watering in the afternoon and at night leaves the soil very humid, favoring the appearance of pests.
At this time, invest in the purchase of plants such as anthurium, cherry trees, bromeliads, fern, peace lily, São Jorge sword, raffia palm, cacti and succulents, which are more suitable for the colder seasons.
“Don’t forget to invest in your own fertilizers, which help in the development of the species and reduce the consequences of the season”, concludes Juana.
