Signs of Cold Stress in Creeping cucumber
Symptoms
Creeping cucumber tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 59℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor cases allow recovery, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.

In summer, Creeping cucumber should be maintained below 86℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, leaves lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Cut off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
