Signs of Cold Stress in Sword-leaved rush
Symptoms
Sword-leaved rush tolerates cool conditions moderately well, flourishing optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor cases allow recovery, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and erect a windbreak to shield it from chilling gusts.
