The hibernation of the angel trumpet - that's how you make it right
Angel trumpets are not native to us and tolerate no frost. They are therefore candidates for separate wintering. How to ensure the Andean plant the right circumstances in winter quarters, we explain in the following article.
The frost sensitivity of the angel trumpet
Originally the angel's trumpet comes from the South American, subtropical Andes, where frost is a foreign word. And even if they occur in the Andes Mountains at altitudes of up to 3000 meters, their temperature tolerance down low not far. In short: Before the first frost announcement, you must move the angel trumpet, if you have put it out during the summer outside, in a winter quarters.
Adapt wintering conditions to location
As a wintering quarter you can choose different places for the angel trumpet. Unlike some other plants in need of wintering, they do not have to be particularly bright or particularly dark. However, depending on the lighting conditions, you should ensure adequate accompanying conditions, especially in terms of temperature.
Bright location
If you own a winter garden, you can spend the winter over the Engelstrompete. It requires a temperature of about 12 to a comfortable 18 ° C in continuous winter light. In warmer conditions, it can even bring forth a flower. You should water regularly in the bright, heated room, but of course limited. #
Dark location
You can also "shut down" the angel trumpet for the winter and put it in a dark place. In that case, bring them to a maximum vegetation restriction. Accordingly, you should leave them more alone and only pour so much that their root ball does not dry out.
Auswintern
After the winter you can bring the angel trumpet back from March / April. A repotting with long-term fertilizer addition is recommended as a spring cure and jump start. You should also get the plant to get used to the sunlight, especially when the winter quarters were dark.
