Most of the garden work has been done for a long time. Autumn has given us time and opportunity to protect our plants from frost.
The plant that can't stand the cold has been taken to a safer, frost-free place for a long time. We have done everything we can to provide them with the conditions to survive because we want to see them on our terrace or in the garden again next year. Of course, many of our plants were left outside in the garden because they also had a place there. In order to protect the trees, bushes and thuja outside, we can also take a few precautions: cover it with leaves and mulch.
We don't usually pay so much attention to evergreens, as they are green even in winter, so they are alive and they feel good and feel good. We can be convinced that these plants are the ones we have no problem with, as they are green in all seasons. But this is not the case. At least not necessarily. If they are in a tub, if they are planted, they are still worth paying attention to because they appreciate the care.
Is it cold, would it be better inside?
It is a fact that evergreens tolerate cold well, but in the case of a potted plant, with the onset of larger frosts, we may wonder if it would be better to store it in a warmer place. Let us not think in terms of ourselves, as this would be very harmful. It is the large temperature fluctuations that can even cause the loss of a plant.
Don't you have to water or do you?
We already know that despite the great cold, it is better for our evergreens outside than indoors. Okay, but how can you help them show off their beauty next year?
However they are outside and rain, heat falls on them, they may not be able to absorb as much fluid from the cold ground as they need. However, they still evaporate, so they need water. This means that watering may be necessary. Always keep their soil moist. Ideally, watering is done on frost-free days so that the water can easily reach the roots.
Remove what you don't need
Dry branches only ridicule the evergreen, so it’s worth getting rid of. In case of more severe frost, cover can be considered, for which use a well-ventilated material (avar, bark). If more snow falls on it, it sits on the branches and weighs on the plants. You may want to shake off the snow before breaking off the branches.
