Signs of Cold Stress in Arugula
Symptoms
Arugula tolerates cool conditions moderately well, flourishing optimally between 55℉ and 75℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Below 45℉, foliage may darken. Severe cases can lead to water-soaked decay, wilting, drooping, and a gradual browning of leaves.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot or construct a temporary greenhouse for protection. When indoors, position it near a south-facing window for adequate light. Supplement with artificial lighting if natural light is insufficient.
Signs of Heat Stress in Arugula
Symptoms
In summer, Arugula should be maintained below 75℉. Temperatures surpassing 80℉ impede growth, lighten leaf color, and increase susceptibility to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched or desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering shade from the afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
