Signs of Cold Temperatures in Green Ephedra
Symptoms
Green Ephedra tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate winter damage may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of High Temperatures in Green Ephedra
Symptoms
During summer, Green Ephedra should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, tips might dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried sections. 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.
