Signs of Cold Exposure in Common turmeric
Symptoms
Common turmeric tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 75℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 65℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage might begin to sag. Minor instances allow for recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and erect a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Common turmeric
Symptoms
In summer, Common turmeric should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, leaf coloration fades, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
