Berlin’s winters can be long and cold – not just for people, but for plants too. Frost, wind, and dry air can damage roots and leaves. With a little care and by checking the Berlin hourly weather, you can help your balcony plants survive the season healthy and strong.
Some balcony plants love the cold, others don’t. Knowing the difference helps you decide which ones to bring inside or wrap up.
Berlin’s winter nights can drop below -5°C. Check the Berlin hourly weather to see when frost is coming. Move sensitive plants before temperatures fall too low.
Tip: Even hardy plants need a windbreak. Place them close to the wall or cover them with a fleece when cold winds blow.
Plants use less water during cold months. Too much moisture can freeze and damage the roots. Water only when the soil feels dry, and choose midday when it’s slightly warmer.
Cold travels quickly through pots, especially clay or metal ones. Raise pots off the ground using wood blocks, and wrap them in natural fabric or cardboard for insulation.
Even in winter, plants need sunlight. Place them where they get daylight, but avoid spots with strong drafts. If you cover them, uncover during sunny hours so they can breathe.
Q: When should I move plants indoors?
A: Check Berlin hourly weather. When temperatures drop below 3°C at night, move sensitive plants to a warmer place.
Q: Can plants stay on the balcony all winter?
A: Hardy types can, if protected from wind and frost with fabric or straw.
Q: Should I fertilize plants in winter?
A: No, they rest in winter. Start again in spring when days get longer.
Winter in Berlin can be tough, but with care and planning, your balcony stays green even in the cold. The Berlin hourly weather helps you know exactly when to act. Protect your plants – and enjoy a little garden magic, all year round.
