Signs of Cold Stress in Governor's plum
Symptoms
Governor's plum favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 59℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose its vibrant color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window to position the plant, ensuring sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing the plant close to heating units or air conditioning vents to prevent overly dry air.
