Signs of Cold Stress in African sandalwood
Symptoms
African sandalwood favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 59℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose vibrancy. Post-frost, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting wilting and drooping.
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.
Signs of Heat Stress in African sandalwood
Symptoms
In summer, African sandalwood should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, 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 a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
