Signs of Cold Stress in Zizotes milkweed
Symptoms
Zizotes milkweed favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage may lose vibrancy. 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, keep the plant away from heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

In summer, Zizotes milkweed should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, leaf coloration fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering shade from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
