Signs of Cold Stress in Chinese new year flower

Symptoms

Chinese new year flower tolerates cool conditions moderately and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage might begin to sag. Minor cases can recover, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before future cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.

Signs of Heat Stress in Chinese new year flower

Symptoms

In summer, Chinese new year flower should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, leaf coloration fades, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
