Signs of Cold Stress in Coastal cholla
Symptoms
Coastal cholla exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. Throughout the winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 40℉, foliage may begin to sag. In minor instances, recovery is possible, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.

Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
