Signs of Cold Stress in Firebush

Symptoms

Firebush thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs above 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Below 32℉, foliage may lose vibrancy. Post-frost, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-affected sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for cold defense. Position the plant near a south-facing window for ample light. Furthermore, avoid proximity to heating or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
