Signs of Cold Stress in Arrowroot
Symptoms
Arrowroot favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 64℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 59℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively turns brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping can appear.
Solutions
Remove the frost-affected sections. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection against cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
Signs of Heat Stress in Arrowroot
Symptoms
In summer, Arrowroot should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures go above 82℉, the leaf color fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Cut off the sun-scorched and desiccated portions. Transfer the plant to a spot that offers protection from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
