Signs of Cold Temperatures in Autumn crocus

Symptoms

Autumn crocus tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 45℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, there could be reduced or absent sprouting in spring.

In spring, remove any sections that have not emerged.

Signs of High Temperatures in Autumn crocus

Symptoms

During summer, Autumn crocus should be maintained below 70℉. When temperatures surpass 75℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl easily, suffer from sunburn, and in extreme cases, the whole plant may wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. 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 keep the soil damp.
