Real laurel - overwinter and maintain
The real laurel is often referred to as a spice laurel, as it is often grown on the balcony or in the pot for use in the kitchen. In contrast to the popular cherry laurel, real laurel in this country is only very hardy in the field.
The origin of the laurel
In the wild, the real laurel grows in the southern European countries on the Mediterranean. Accordingly, the laurel grown in pots is not only suitable for a sophisticated shape cut, but also as a Mediterranean design element for terrace, balcony and garden.
True laurel overwinter properly
In contrast to the cherry laurel, which is popular as a hedge plant, the true laurel can survive winter in the open air only in very mild regions of Central Europe and with appropriate protection. Before the temperatures in the open air drop below freezing in the long term, you should place laurel plants in the pot in a room with a temperature between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius. There, the laurel should be frost-free and bright winter.
Tips & Tricks
In winter quarters, the real laurel should be poured only very sparingly, since he only tolerates waterlogging bad.
