Signs of Cold Stress in Tea-oil camellia
Symptoms
Tea-oil camellia exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain conditions above 50℉. Should temperatures drop below 32℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild instances allow recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Tea-oil camellia
Symptoms
In summer, Tea-oil camellia should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf 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 deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
