Signs of Cold Stress in Citron

Symptoms

Citron tolerates cold moderately, flourishing optimally between 60℉ and 85℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Below 40℉, foliage may darken. Severe cases show water-soaked necrosis, wilting, drooping, and leaves turning brown.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to warmth or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. Indoors, position near a south-facing window for ample light. Supplement with artificial lighting if natural light is inadequate.
