Signs of Cold Stress in Zonal geranium

Symptoms

Zonal geranium favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting signs like wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for cold protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
