Signs of Cold Temperatures in Sunn hemp

Symptoms

Sunn hemp favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 75℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 65℉. If the temperature drops below 60℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively turns brown or black, and issues like wilting and drooping can appear.

Solutions

Remove the sections damaged by frost. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for protection from the cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of sunlight. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant close to heaters or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

Signs of High Temperatures in Sunn hemp

Symptoms

In summer, Sunn hemp should be maintained below 90℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the leaves' color fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Cut off the parts that are sunburned and dried out. Transfer the plant to an area that offers protection from the midday and afternoon sun. Hydrate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
