Signs of Cold Stress in Bolivian begonia
Symptoms
Bolivian begonia favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose color. Post-frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, 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 excessive air dryness.
