Signs of Cold Stress in Barberton daisy

Symptoms

Barberton daisy tolerates cool temperatures moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 64℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 59℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage might begin to sag. Mild instances allow recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.

Signs of Heat Stress in Barberton daisy

Symptoms

In summer, Barberton daisy should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
