Signs of Cold Stress in Smooth mesquite
Symptoms
Smooth mesquite exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. Throughout the winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, its foliage may begin to sag. In minor instances, recovery is possible, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Smooth mesquite
Symptoms
In summer, Smooth mesquite should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 100℉, the leaves' hue lightens, leaf tips might become dry and shriveled, foliage may curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
