Signs of Cold Stress in Cabbage tree
Symptoms
Cabbage tree favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, leaves may lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively darkens to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection from cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it close to heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
