The cylinder brush - regardless of whether it is grown as a tree or a shrub - is considered to be less frost-resistant. His warm country of origin Australia is probably responsible for this. To get this plant through the winter you should hibernate it!
Cylinder brushes do not tolerate temperatures below -5°C and must therefore be brought indoors in winter
Is it possible to overwinter outdoors?
Ideally, the cylinder brush should not be overwintered outdoors. You could only give it a try in mild locations such as wine-growing regions. But if the temperatures drop below -5 °C, the fun is over!
Overwinter in a light and cool place
This evergreen plant should be overwintered in a cool place of 5 to 8 °C:
- do not fertilize
- air regularly
- check for pests
- dry leaves are a sign of lack of water
- like to repot after the winter
- slowly increase the amount of water and get used to the sunlight
tips
As soon as the outside temperature falls below 10 °C, you should call in your bottle cleaner.
