Signs of Cold Stress in Scarlet flax
Symptoms
Scarlet flax tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate winter changes may be apparent, spring germination might be reduced or absent.

In spring, remove any sections that have not germinated.
Signs of Heat Stress in Scarlet flax
Symptoms
During summer, Scarlet flax should be kept below 70℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in severe instances, the whole plant might wilt and dry out.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
