i have a plant that needs chill hours in order for it to survive and i am planning to move to florida one day, how do i give this plant artificial chill hours?
Hard to say without more details. What species, and what sort of chilling does it need? And is the plant small enough to put in a domestic fridge for a month or two? Most temperate plants will get by with a month or two at 2°C, even if they are adapted to cope with lengthy winter freezing. For warm temperate to subtropical species, a month or two at around 10°C will be adequate.
This plant is a goji plant and it only needs a couple weeks of chill hours and it needs to be below 30 degrees F. if i were to put this plant in the fridge, would i need to put a plant light in the fridge or does it matter. i know that it will lose its leaves so it seems that it wouldnt need light but i would think it is natural to give it light anyways, so should i?
Goji = Lycium barbarum. When leafless, it shouldn't need any light. No idea what "30 degrees F" means, but chilling at 2°C will be adequate.
