Signs of Cold Stress in Western labrador tea

Symptoms

Western labrador tea tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 55℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 40℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate winter damage may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Western labrador tea

Symptoms

During summer, Western labrador tea should be kept below 70℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and it 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 use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
