Symptoms

Cornish heath tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while winter changes might be subtle, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated 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.
