Signs of Cold Stress in Cat's whiskers

Symptoms

Cat's whiskers thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs above 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. Below 55℉, foliage may lose color. Post-frost, leaves progressively brown or blacken, showing signs of wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid proximity to heaters or AC vents to prevent air from becoming too dry.
