Signs of Cold Stress in Bottlebrush

Symptoms

Bottlebrush tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might be subtle, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Bottlebrush

Symptoms

In summer, Bottlebrush should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
