Signs of Cold Stress in Strangler Fig
Symptoms
Strangler Fig thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, foliage may lose color. Post-frost, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove frost-affected sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for abundant light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
