Signs of Cold Stress in Avocado
Symptoms
Avocado favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it must be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, the foliage may lose some of its green hue. Following frost damage, the 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 the cold. Select a location near a south-facing window to position the plant, ensuring sufficient sunlight. Furthermore, avoid placing the plant close to heaters or air conditioning vents to prevent the air from becoming overly dry.
Signs of Heat Stress in Avocado
Symptoms
In summer, Avocado should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 100℉, the leaves' color lightens, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Prune off any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to an area that offers shade from the midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
