Signs of Cold Stress in Christmas berry

Symptoms

Christmas berry tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 41℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, its foliage might begin to sag. Minor cases can lead to recovery, but severe instances will cause leaves to wither and ultimately detach.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and build a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.

Signs of Heat Stress in Christmas berry

Symptoms

In summer, Christmas berry should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures rise above 86℉, the leaves' hue lightens, their tips might become dry and shriveled, the foliage could curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried out. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade net to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
