Ideal temperature for anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker'
Temperature kills fewer anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker' plants than you'd think. What kills them is the micro-climate within a normal-temperature room — a leaf pressed against single-glazed winter glass, the hot dry updraft directly above a radiator, the cold blast from an AC vent. The thermostat reading at 7-18°C (45-65°F) is fine; the spot you put the plant in matters more. Below roughly 7°C growth pauses; cold beyond that pushes it into dormancy rather than killing it outright.
Cold tolerance & winter care
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' is comparatively hardy (USDA 7-10 (cool-season annual or lifted in colder zones), RHS H4). Within that range it tolerates a cold dormant spell outdoors; outside it, grow it in a container you can move under cover or overwinter in a cool but frost-free spot. Hardiness assumes an established plant in well-drained soil — a wet, cold root zone kills far more plants than cold air alone.
Humidity for anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker'
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' sits happiest at around 40-60% relative humidity. Suited to the moderate humidity of a cool spring. Airflow to discourage botrytis and powdery mildew matters more than any precise humidity figure, particularly under cover. The usual low-humidity tell is crisp brown leaf tips and edges while the soil moisture is fine — a sign the air, not the watering, is the problem. If you need to raise it, the reliable methods are grouping plants together, standing the pot on a tray of damp pebbles (the pot above the waterline, never in it), or running a small humidifier in winter when indoor heating dries the air most. Misting is the least effective — it raises humidity for minutes, not hours.
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' temperature & humidity — frequently asked questions
What temperature is best for anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker'?
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' grows best between 7-18°C (45-65°F). Keep it out of cold draughts, off freezing windowsills in winter, and away from the hot dry air directly above radiators — the extremes matter far more than the average room temperature.
How cold can anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker' tolerate?
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' starts to suffer below roughly 7°C. It tolerates a cold dormant period within USDA 7-10 (cool-season annual or lifted in colder zones), but a wet cold root zone is more dangerous than cold air.
What humidity does anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker' need?
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' prefers about 40-60% relative humidity. Suited to the moderate humidity of a cool spring. Airflow to discourage botrytis and powdery mildew matters more than any precise humidity figure, particularly under cover.
How do I raise humidity for anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker'?
Group it with other plants, stand the pot on a tray of damp pebbles (kept above the waterline), or run a small humidifier in winter. Misting only helps for a few minutes, so it is the weakest option for a plant that genuinely needs more humidity.
Can anemone coronaria 'mr. fokker' live outside?
Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' is rated for USDA zone 7-10 (cool-season annual or lifted in colder zones) and RHS hardiness H4. Within that range it can stay outdoors; outside it, grow it in a moveable container and protect the roots from a wet, cold winter.
