Signs of Cold Stress in Chinese ixora
Symptoms
Chinese ixora favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 55℉, foliage may lose vibrancy. Post-frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting signs like wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
