11月まで異例の暑さが居座っていたこ今年だが、冬の寒さは平年並みだという。
つまり気温差が大きい。
人間にもつらいが植物にもつらいだろう。
室内で栽培している鉢植えたちは今のところ元気を保っている。
去年は「枯らす方が難しい」というポトス以外は全滅だった。
「熱帯植物は葉っぱが垂れ下がってくるまで冬は水をやるな」
という戒めを守っているからだろうか？
寒くなってからというものポトスとモンステラは一度だけ、パキラに至っては一度も水やりをしていない。
時々葉っぱに霧を吹くだけだ。
とにかく、しばらく気を付けて見守ることにしよう。
This year, the unusually hot weather stayed until November, but the cold winter is said to be normal.
In other words, there is a big difference in temperature.
It is hard for people, but it must be hard for plants as well.
The potted plants that I have been growing indoors have been doing well so far.
Last year, all of the potted plants were killed except for the pothos, which he says “is more difficult to kill.
I think it is because I have followed the admonition not to water tropical plants in winter until their leaves are drooping down.
Since it has been cold, I have watered the pothos and monstera only once, and the pachira has not been watered once.
I only mist the leaves once in a while.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on them for a while.
