Hardy or sensitive to frost?

The rosewood tree is not hardy

Since the rosewood tree does not tolerate any cold, it must either spend the whole year in the house or be placed in a frost-free place over the winter.

When you have him in the house all year round draw, it can stand in its usual place even in winter and does not have to be placed in a cooler place. A location directly next to or above the heater, however, does not suit him.

A good place to hibernate

If you take care of the rosewood tree on the terrace or balcony in summer, you need to bring it into the house in good time before winter. Under no circumstances should the outside temperature be cooler than ten degrees.

Rooms where the temperatures are around 15 degrees and which are as bright as possible are ideal as winter quarters:

• slightly heated winter garden
• bright hallway window
• not too warm bedroom window

How to care for the rosewood tree in winter

Of the Rosewood tree is also watered regularly in winter without waterlogging. In winter, fertilization is only carried out every fortnight.

In winter it loses all leaves

That the rosewood tree sheds all leaves in winter is quite normal for our latitudes. It's just too dark here and even plant lamps often don't provide enough light.

But that is not a cause for concern. In spring the rosewood tree sprouts again and develops its filigree pinnate leaves up to 40 cm long by the next winter.

Get used to the fresh air after the winter break

From May it is time to get the rosewood tree used to the fresh air again. First, put it outside by the hour as soon as it is warm enough. For the first time you should avoid direct sunlight.
