Signs of Cold Stress in Red Silk Cotton Tree
Symptoms
Red Silk Cotton Tree favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove the sections affected by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant sunlight. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
