Signs of Cold Stress in Life plant

Symptoms

Life plant cannot withstand extremely low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures range from 65℉ to 75℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its leaves will show water-soaked decay and droop. For minor frost damage, initial signs might be absent, but within a week, leaves will severely wilt and eventually detach.

Solutions

Cut away any frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot or construct a temporary greenhouse for cold defense. If moving indoors, select a south-facing window for sufficient light. If using a makeshift greenhouse, ensure good air circulation to prevent plant deterioration from stagnant air.

Signs of Heat Stress in Life plant

Symptoms

In summer, Life plant should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant will enter dormancy, and it becomes more susceptible to rot in humid conditions.

Solutions

Remove any dry or decayed portions. Transfer the plant to a location with partial shade, shielding it from direct sun exposure during midday and afternoon. Cease watering the plant until temperatures decrease.
