How hardy is it really?

Pipe winds are hardy

The pipe winch is absolutely robust. Frost temperatures do not affect the plant. Since the leaves fall off in winter, there is no risk of frost for the above-ground parts anyway.

However, the roots of the climbing plant must not freeze completely.

Protect pipe winds in the bucket from frost

The pipe binders are not quite as hardy in the bucket. Here the earth freezes through much faster than in the open air. Container plants must therefore be protected from frost:

• Place the bucket on styrofoam or wood
• Look for a protected location on the terrace or in the corner of the house
• Wrap the pot with foil or jute
• above-ground parts do not need winter protection

Make sure that the bucket with the windlass is in a somewhat sheltered place during the winter Location spends. A corner of the house is ideal, as is a place on the terrace by the wall of the house.

The location must not be too drafty. Make sure that the whistle winds are protected from strong autumn and winter storms so that the plant does not tip over.

Protect pipe winds from drying out in winter

More than frost, the whistle wind causes drought in winter. After long periods of frost or very stormy days, the earth dries out a lot, especially if the ground is not protected by snow. The roots can then no longer draw water and the plant dries up.

To overwinter the pipe winds, therefore, regular watering also belongs during the winter months.

It is poured on days when it does not freeze. This applies to all pipe winches, regardless of whether they are outdoors planted or be pulled in the bucket. Basically, a regular water supply must be ensured.
