Temperatures are dropping, and its only a matter of time before we get another cold snap. Let the weather reports be a reminder to protect frost-tender plants.
- Water your plants (except succulents) before cold temperatures; thirsty plants suffer.
- Spray with Wilt Stop to help insulate.
- Use frost bags & protective grow fabric over citrus, bougainvilleas & other tropicals.
- Drape non-led string lights over a plant before covering for added warmth.
Cover frost-tender plants with a frost protection fabric or bag.
Decorate your frost-tender plants like citrus, bougainvillea and hibiscus with non-led outdoor Christmas tree lights then cover them with a fleece jacket made of translucent fabric (it can stay on all season).
Keep an eye on soil moisture levels around plants. Plants use less moisture in cool weather but can actually go dry if we stretch a few weeks without rain. Water occasionally as necessary. A well-watered plant going into a freeze is more resilient. A thirsty plant may suffer.
