Signs of Cold Stress in Tiger tooth aloe
Symptoms
Tiger tooth aloe flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 35℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and be susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will gradually decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove any frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, trim them and consider propagating new plants from cuttings. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot, positioning it near a south-facing window for adequate light. If natural light is insufficient, provide artificial grow lights.

Symptoms
In summer, Tiger tooth aloe should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant will stop growing, lose moisture, wilt, and be more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Cut off any sunburnt or decayed portions. Protect the plant from intense afternoon sun until it recovers and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease watering until new roots start to form.
