A Winter Guide from Florescofolia

Thank you for choosing Florescofolia. Your new Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has arrived in its natural Winter Dormant state.

Why does my plant have no leaves?

Don’t worry—it’s not dead, it’s just sleeping! Deciduous plants like Pomegranates drop their leaves in winter to save energy. This is a sign of a healthy, strong plant preparing for a massive burst of growth in the Spring.

The “Scratch Test” (Proof of Life)

If you want to see the magic happening inside, gently scratch a tiny sliver of bark off a branch with your fingernail.

🧤 Winter Care Instructions

Watering: Very little! Only water if the soil feels bone-dry to the touch. Overwatering in winter is the #1 cause of plant death.
Position: Keep in a bright, sheltered spot. If a heavy frost is forecast (below -5°C), move the pot close to a house wall or into a bright porch.
Patience: Pomegranates are “late sleepers.” You likely won’t see green buds until late April or May when the sun stays warm.

🌸 The Spring Reward

Once the leaves appear, start watering more regularly and use a liquid feed once a month. You’ll be rewarded with stunning orange-red flowers and fruit this summer!
