Signs of Cold Stress in African violet
Symptoms
African violet thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It grows best when temperatures are above 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 55℉, leaves may lose color. After frost, they gradually turn brown or black, showing signs of wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections. Immediately relocate indoors to a warm area for protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for sufficient light. Also, avoid placing it near heating or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
