Signs of Cold Stress in Mexican-hat-plant
Symptoms
Mexican-hat-plant tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In colder months, it needs to stay above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its foliage might begin to sag. Minor cases allow recovery, but severe exposure leads to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before further cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.

Symptoms
In summer, Mexican-hat-plant should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the foliage lightens in color, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Prune off any sunburnt or desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
