Signs of Cold Stress in Sacred fig
Symptoms
Sacred fig favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when the temperature exceeds 68℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 59℉. If the temperature drops below 41℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively turns brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping may appear.
Solutions
Remove the sections affected by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection against cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it close to heating units or air conditioning vents to prevent overly dry air.
