Signs of Cold Stress in Fairy Duster
Symptoms
Fairy Duster tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In colder months, it needs to stay above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its foliage might begin to sag. Minor instances allow for recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before future cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Fairy Duster
Symptoms
In summer, Fairy Duster should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the foliage lightens in color, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
