Signs of Cold Stress in Dragon tree
Symptoms
Dragon tree favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to be kept above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively turns brown or black, and issues like wilting and drooping can appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from the cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
