Signs of Cold Stress in Mexican olive
Symptoms
Mexican olive favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, foliage may lose color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove frost-affected sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
