Signs of Cold Stress in Lemon-scented gum
Symptoms
Lemon-scented gum favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 64℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, foliage may lose its vibrant color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting signs like wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window to position the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
