Signs of Cold Stress in Basket plant
Symptoms
Basket plant favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and sagging might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection against cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
