Signs of Cold Stress in Schreber's watershield

Symptoms

Schreber's watershield tolerates cool conditions moderately well, flourishing optimally when temperatures range from 65℉ to 85℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, foliage may darken. Severe instances can lead to waterlogged tissue death, wilting, drooping, and a gradual browning of leaves.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot or construct a temporary greenhouse for protection from cold. When indoors, position it near a south-facing window for ample light. If natural light is insufficient, provide supplementary illumination.
