Frost and frost can have a devastating effect on certain plants that are kept in the house, balcony or garden. Protecting these plants requires vigilance and up-to-date information on weather conditions.

The best protection depends on the duration of the frost and the type of plant you have.

Below you will learn about practical tips for protecting plants in case temperatures drop below 0 degrees or below.

The following tips are short-term, but give your plants the strength they need to survive a frosty night or period.

water

Moist soil retains warmth longer and more than dry soil, so watering is a good way. Additionally, you can use gardening solutions that help the leaves retain moisture.

Cover

Cover the plants with sheets, blankets or even towels so they retain heat. For the simplest, you can use a thick plastic bag to cover the pots, making sure that the bag does not touch the plant because any leaves that touch the plastic will freeze.

Turn on the lights

Leave it near a light or lamp with at least 100 watts so that the plants can absorb its heat. Make sure they are not LEDs because they do not conduct heat.

Move the vases

Depending on the plants, you can stack the pots in a specific location, mostly near a south or west facing wall so they retain warmth for longer. In the evening, make sure to bring the plant pots indoors.

If you have fragile and completely unripe trees or seedlings in the garden, wrap their trunks with blankets to keep them warm./Agroweb
