Signs of Cold Stress in Round-leafed navel-wort
Symptoms
Round-leafed navel-wort cannot withstand very low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures range from 60℉ to 75℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 41℉, leaves will show watery decay and droop. For minor frost damage, initial signs might be absent, but within a week, leaves will severely wilt and eventually detach.
Solutions
Prune away any frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. When indoors, position it near a south-facing window for sufficient light. If using a makeshift greenhouse, ensure good air circulation to prevent rot from stagnant air.
Signs of Heat Stress in Round-leafed navel-wort
Symptoms
In summer, Round-leafed navel-wort should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant enters dormancy and is more susceptible to rot in humid conditions.
Solutions
Discard any dry or decayed portions. Transfer the plant to a location with partial shade, shielding it from direct sun exposure during midday and afternoon. Cease irrigation until temperatures decrease.
