Signs of Cold Stress in Mediterranean spurge

Symptoms

Mediterranean spurge tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 55℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might be subtle, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Mediterranean spurge

Symptoms

During summer, Mediterranean spurge should be kept 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 desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade covering. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
