We can find fruit plants planted in containers more and more often. The advantage of such cultivation is the ability to move the plants to a selected place in the garden or terrace.Unfortunately, pots must be secured for the winter.This can be done by placing plants with a container in a cold place. However, we do not always have a sufficiently cool room.
Remember not to place plants in too warm places, because many trees or shrubs will quickly go dormant and start growing during winter. Many plants can be left outside, as long as we protect their root system well.
It is very important, because the roots of most plants freeze and die already at -10 ° C.In plants growing in the ground, there is usually no problem with freezing of the roots, because the entire root system is protected through the soil, and above all through the best insulator, which is snow cover.
One way to protect against frost is to dig the pots into the ground so that the soil surface in the pot is at the same level as the ground in the garden. Another option is to put the pot with plants in a larger container.Pour sawdust or rake leaves between the walls of both vessels, they will be an insulating layer protecting against low temperatures.The easiest way to protect the roots is to wrap the pot with a thick layer of non-woven fabric and then with air-permeable material.
