Signs of Cold Stress in Velvet groundsel
Symptoms
Velvet groundsel thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, leaves may lose their vibrant color. Following frost damage, they progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting signs like wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection from cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or air conditioning vents to prevent overly dry air.
