Chinese red pine tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 59℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Chinese red pine should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, their tips might dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
