Signs of Cold Stress in Torch Ginger

Symptoms

Torch Ginger thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs above 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 59℉. Below 50℉, leaves may lose their vibrant color. Following frost exposure, foliage progressively browns or blackens, accompanied by wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection. Position it near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent air desiccation.
