Signs of Cold Stress in Common myrtle
Symptoms
Common myrtle tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 41℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor cases are reversible, 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 erect a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Common myrtle
Symptoms
In summer, Common myrtle should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, leaves lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, foliage might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure consistent soil moisture.
