Signs of Cold Stress in Crown Flower

Symptoms

Crown Flower favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 75℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 60℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost exposure, the foliage progressively darkens to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping may appear.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection against cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it close to heaters or AC vents to prevent the air from becoming too dry.

Signs of Heat Stress in Crown Flower

Symptoms

In summer, Crown Flower should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 100℉, the leaves' hue lightens, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to an area offering shade from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant during the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
