Signs of Cold Stress in Silky oak
Symptoms
Silky oak favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 41℉, foliage may lose color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
