Signs of Cold Stress in Candy Grass

Symptoms

Candy Grass tolerates cool conditions moderately well, flourishing optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. Throughout winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor instances allow for recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.

Solutions

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

Signs of Heat Stress in Candy Grass

Symptoms

In summer, Candy Grass should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, leaves lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, foliage might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
