Signs of Cold Stress in Ming aralia

Symptoms

Ming aralia favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 55℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost exposure, 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 cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
