Signs of Cold Stress in Royal poinciana
Symptoms
Royal poinciana favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the color progressively shifts to brown or black, and issues like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of sunlight. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
