Signs of Cold Stress in String of pearls
Symptoms
String of pearls flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove any parts affected by frost, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, trim them and consider propagating new plants from cuttings. Relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot immediately, positioning it near a south-facing window for ample light. If natural light is insufficient, provide artificial illumination.
