Signs of Cold Stress in Silver dollar plant
Symptoms
Silver dollar plant does not tolerate extremely low temperatures well. It flourishes optimally when temperatures range from 65℉ to 75℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, its leaves will show signs of waterlogging, tissue death, and drooping. For minor frost damage, initial symptoms might be absent, but within a week, leaves will noticeably droop and eventually shed.
Solutions
Prune away any frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. When bringing it inside, select a spot near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. If using a makeshift greenhouse, ensure proper air circulation to prevent plant deterioration from inadequate airflow.

Solutions
Discard any dry or decayed portions. Transfer the plant to a location with partial shade, shielding it from direct sun exposure during the midday and afternoon hours. Cease watering the plant until temperatures decrease.
