Signs of Cold Stress in Mandarin orange
Symptoms
Mandarin orange tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild cases can lead to recovery, but severe instances will cause leaves to wither and eventually shed.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Mandarin orange
Symptoms
In summer, Mandarin orange should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf tips might become dry and shriveled, leaves may curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area 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.
