Protect your plants from the cold winter
Do you have plants that you need to protect from the cold , recently acquired or tropical? If so, this article is for you. We will show you some methods to avoid, as far as possible, that your most delicate plants notice the cold and can continue to grow normally as soon as the sun is dressed in spring and its solar rays can touch the earth with more force.
Very easy advice to carry out and that will not take us long.
- Bottles
- Plastic containers, such as bottles, are great as a mini-greenhouse , since in addition to protecting the plant from the cold, it makes the bottle a few degrees higher than outside . In addition, it maintains humidity , which is great when it comes to protecting plants that need high humidity. I recommend making small holes in the bottle, or uncovering the plant on warmer days or times. This will prevent the mushrooms from appearing. We can also add a little fungicide to prevent.
- It is a method that can be used when you have few delicate plants, but also in cases of early germination, that is, to protect seeds or seedlings that have germinated prematurely.
Second method: greenhouses for horticultural plants
- Tunnel
- If we have horticultural plants planted and we want to protect them from frost, then we can make use of special greenhouses for orchards . These types of greenhouses are attached to the ground, and prevent the plants from being damaged by frost or cold.
In addition, it will also help us prevent leaf eaters from eating them.
Third method: thermal blanket
- Protect with thermal blanket
- It is a very effective method when it comes to protecting trees, whether in pot or in the ground. The thermal blanket is made in such a way to prevent the plant from feeling the cold . It would be the equivalent of a coat.
They are very economical, they hardly weigh anything, and they can be cut to the size we need.
These are just three methods that will help your plants do their best in winter. There are a few more, but we will see them next time.
How can you protect your plants from the cold
Yes, Winter is coming , we have already noticed. You may have a small garden or a splendid terrace (or modest balcony) in which you have a small orchard, which you take care of throughout the year. And when winter comes, you should take extreme care because low temperatures can affect your plants: frost causes ice crystals to form, seriously damaging plants because ice makes water unavailable for their tissues. (Their tissues are not capable of absorbing water and the plant ends up dying due to desiccation).
How can you avoid this? The first thing that you should control is the type of plant that you put outside, you should opt for the so-called resistant plants, which tolerate a certain amount of freezing in the short term, unlike the so-called tender plants, which are damaged or die by the low temperatures.
Once this concept is clarified, you should also choose the best location for the most delicate plants: you must bear in mind that there are a number of factors that influence the life of a tree or plant . Terrain elevation, soil properties, canopy cover, and proximity to other plants can make their life longer or shorter.
Avoid, for example, planting tender species in open areas or in highly exposed spaces. Also, in low places where cold air settles. These types of more fragile plants are best placed near a wall facing south or west, which absorbs heat during the day and radiates it at night. Boulders, fences, walls, shrubs or other plants can also have a protective function.
Another thing you can do is cover more fragile trees and plants: if you have young trees or varieties with thin bark (for example, fruit trees), wrap the trunk with cardboard, blankets or cloth. You can also use plastic to cover trees and plants , but make sure it is black so that it reflects the sun's rays and does not have a greenhouse effect on the trunk.
If you are going to cover the plants in case of strong frost, do it before dark since if you wait until it has got dark, most of the heat stored in the garden or terrace will have dissipated. The next morning, when the frost has thawed , remove the covers. Watering the soil also helps, because a moist soil holds heat better than a dry soil, and that protects the roots.
Another tip: keep the most delicate plants in pots , so you can take them to sheltered places when the temperatures drop.
Apart from what we have seen, on the market you have all kinds of greenhouse solutions for your plants and trees: all kinds of surfaces and materials and of course, prices. There are them in the form of a tunnel for just six euros to greenhouses with much more professional foundations. Everything will depend on the dimensions of your garden and your needs.
