Signs of Cold Stress in Butterfly pea

Symptoms

Butterfly pea thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. Below 50℉, leaves may lose color. Post-frost, foliage progressively browns or blackens, accompanied by wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for abundant light. Furthermore, avoid placing near heating or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
