Signs of Cold Stress in Crimson bottlebrush
Symptoms
Crimson bottlebrush tolerates cool temperatures moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its foliage might begin to sag. Minor cases allow recovery, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and build a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Crimson bottlebrush
Symptoms
In summer, Crimson bottlebrush should be kept below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the leaves' color fades, tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune 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 net to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
