Signs of Cold Stress in Kahili ginger
Symptoms
Kahili ginger thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It grows optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, temperatures should remain above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 45℉, leaves may lose their vibrant color. Following frost damage, they progressively turn brown or black, and the plant might show signs of wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection against cold. Position it near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or air conditioning vents to prevent overly dry air.
