Signs of Cold Stress in âEaster lily cactus
Symptoms
âEaster lily cactus flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 41℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Prune away frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, remove them and consider propagating new plants from cuttings. Relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot immediately, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant light. Supplement with artificial lighting if natural light is inadequate.
