While some palm trees and citrus plants can stay outside until the first frosts, the sensitive, hardworking lizzy should be brought indoors at average temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. In spring, planting out should not be before the ice saints in the gardening calendar. The hard-working Lieschen are not often afflicted by diseases and pests. With a close look at each individual plant, however, you can ensure that pests such as aphids or the red spider do not multiply in their winter quarters.
The ideal winter quarters and perfect winter care
A basic requirement for wintering is the brightest possible winter quarters for the hardworking Lieschen. It does not have to be a regularly heated room at room temperature, but the average temperature should not be permanently below 10 degrees Celsius. Bright corridors, winter gardens or stairwells are ideal. You should not fertilize the plants during the winter dormancy, which automatically occurs due to the shorter times of the day with the busy Lieschen. In addition, the pouring should also be limited to a relatively economical level.
Hard-working lizards multiply over the winter
The winter can be used to easily reproduce the hardworking Lieschen yourself. In addition to growing the plants from seeds, you can have cuttings rooted indoors. To do this, put the head cuttings cut in autumn in pots with a permeable plant substrate. Keep them evenly moist, this is even easier with a plastic bag placed over them. After about 3 to 4 weeks, the cuttings should have their first roots so that you can remove the bags from the pots.
Tips
Since the hard-working Lieschen is non-toxic, it can be wintered on the windowsill without hesitation.
