Indications of Cold Temperatures in Squirrel Corn
Symptoms
Squirrel Corn tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, a reduction or complete absence of sprouting could occur in spring.
Solutions
In spring, eliminate any sections that have not sprouted.
Indications of Warm Temperatures in Squirrel Corn
Symptoms
During the summer, Squirrel Corn should be kept below 70℉. When temperatures surpass 75℉, the plant's foliage might lighten in hue, tend to curl, become vulnerable to sunburn, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove the sun-damaged and dried portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Hydrate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
