Signs of Cold Stress in Oak fern

Symptoms

Oak fern tolerates cold well, but winter temperatures should stay above 40℉. If temperatures fall below this point, while no immediate changes might be seen in winter, reduced or absent sprouting could occur in spring.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Heat Stress in Oak fern

Symptoms

Oak fern does not handle high temperatures well. When temperatures go above 75℉, its development ceases, and it becomes more prone to decay.

Solutions

Cut off any sun-damaged and dried-out portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
