Signs of Cold Stress in Bird's-nest fern
Symptoms
Bird's-nest fern thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose color. 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 area 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 excessive air dryness.
