Signs of Cold Stress in Sweet potato vine

Symptoms

Sweet potato vine tolerates cool temperatures moderately, flourishing optimally between 75℉ and 85℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, foliage may darken. Severe cases can lead to water-soaked decay, wilting, drooping, and a gradual browning of leaves.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting or construct a temporary greenhouse for protection from cold. When indoors, position it near a south-facing window for adequate light. If natural light is insufficient, provide supplementary illumination.
