Signs of Cold Stress in Broadleaf stonecrop
Symptoms
Broadleaf stonecrop flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Cut away any frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, remove them, and the plant can be propagated via cuttings. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant light. If natural light is inadequate, provide supplementary illumination.

Symptoms
In summer, Broadleaf stonecrop should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's development will halt, it will dehydrate, wilt, and be more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Eliminate any sunburnt or decayed portions. Protect the plant from direct afternoon sun until it recovers and resumes growth. For plants with root decay, cease watering until new roots start to form.
