Signs of Cold Stress in Singapore holly

Symptoms

Singapore holly thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It grows best when temperatures are above 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, leaves might lose their vibrant color. After frost, they slowly turn brown or black, and the plant may wilt and droop.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection from cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Also, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
