Signs of Cold Stress in Desert Saltgrass

Symptoms

Desert Saltgrass tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 20℉, while winter changes might be unnoticeable, spring may see reduced or absent sprouting.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Heat Stress in Desert Saltgrass

Symptoms

In summer, Desert Saltgrass should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, suffer sunburn, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
