Signs of Cold Stress in Ivy geranium

Symptoms

Ivy geranium favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it must be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage may lose its vibrant color. Following frost exposure, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window to position the plant, ensuring sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
