Signs of Cold Stress in Zebra plant
Symptoms
Zebra plant cannot withstand very low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures range from {Suitable_growth_temperature_min} to {Suitable_growth_temperature_max}. In winter, it needs to be maintained above {Tolerable_growing_temperature_min}. If the temperature drops below {Limit_growth_temperature}, its leaves will show signs of waterlogging, necrosis, and drooping. For minor frost damage, initial symptoms might be absent, but within a week, leaves will severely droop and eventually detach.
Solutions
Prune away any frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. When indoors, position it near a south-facing window for sufficient light. If using a makeshift greenhouse, ensure good air circulation to prevent rot from stagnant air.
Signs of Heat Stress in Zebra plant
Symptoms
In summer, Zebra plant should be kept below {Suitable_growth_temperature_max}. When temperatures surpass {Tolerable_growing_temperature_max}, the plant will enter dormancy and becomes more susceptible to rot in humid conditions.
Solutions
Remove any dried or decayed portions. Transfer the plant to a spot with partial shade, shielding it from direct sun during midday and afternoon. Cease watering until the weather cools down.
