Signs of Cold Stress in Pincushion flower

Symptoms

Pincushion flower tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, while no immediate changes might be visible in winter, reduced or absent sprouting could occur in spring.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Heat Stress in Pincushion flower

Symptoms

During summer, Pincushion flower should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl easily, suffer from sunburn, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and desiccated. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
