Indications of Cold Conditions in Mottled spurge
Symptoms
Mottled spurge flourishes in warm climates and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and be susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, trim them and consider propagating new plants from cuttings. Relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot immediately, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant light. Supplement with artificial lighting if natural light is inadequate.
Indications of Hot Conditions in Mottled spurge
Symptoms
In summer, Mottled spurge should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's development will halt, it will dehydrate, wilt, and become more vulnerable to sun damage.
Solutions
Excise the sunburnt and decayed portions. Protect the plant from intense afternoon sun until it recuperates and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease irrigation until new roots start to form.
