Signs of Cold Stress in Foxtail fern
Symptoms
Foxtail fern thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures are above 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, leaves may lose their vibrant color. Following frost damage, foliage progressively browns or blackens, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate 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.
