Signs of Cold Stress in Blackwood
Symptoms
Blackwood favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 32℉. If the temperature drops below 28℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

Symptoms
In summer, Blackwood should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, leaf coloration fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Transfer the plant to an area offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
