Signs of Cold Stress in Zebra plant

Symptoms

Zebra plant thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, leaves may lose color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
