Indications of Cold Conditions in Walking Kalanchoe
Symptoms
Walking Kalanchoe flourishes in warm climates and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, excise them, and the plant can be propagated via cuttings. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting, positioning the plant near a south-facing window for abundant light. If natural light is inadequate, consider using supplementary illumination.

Symptoms
In summer, Walking Kalanchoe should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, the plant's development will halt, it will dehydrate, wilt, and be more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Discard sunburnt and decayed portions. Protect the plant from direct afternoon sun until it recuperates and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease watering until new roots start to appear.
