With which tricks can leadwort overwinter?
Since the leadwort is originally from the tropics, it is a little bit sensitive as far as frost is concerned. He is therefore considered in our latitudes not hardy. How can you safely bring it through the winter time without frost damage?
Early article Cutting the leadwort - when, how and why?Can you overwinter the leadwort outside?
A leadwort in pot culture should never be overwintered outside. If he was planted, however, the chance that he will survive the winter, extremely low. It is worth a try: Protect it with a thick layer of fleece.
Hibernation in the home four walls
The leadwort can also be wintered at home, provided it is in the bucket or pot. Then he will be hired from October. The place to spend the winter should be bright and cool. Temperatures between 8 and 12 ° C are ideal. These may be found among others in the conservatory or staircase?
This is to be noted:
Hibernation in the dark cellar
Even in a dark place (basement or in the garage) the leadwort can be wintered. It should be cooler there than in a bright place. Note that in such a hibernation place the whole leaves are thrown off and do not forget to carefully plant the plant if necessary (do not fertilize!).
Tips
Before the leadwort is quartered, its shoots should be radically cut down. As a result, he needs less space at his wintering place.
