Signs of Cold in Hillyhock
Symptoms
Hillyhock tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 70℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 65℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, leaves might begin to sag. Mild cases may recover, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before further cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.
Signs of Heat in Hillyhock
Symptoms
In summer, Hillyhock should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures rise above 95℉, leaf color fades, tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Cut off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
