Signs of Cold Stress in Prairie Dropseed

Symptoms

Prairie Dropseed tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, reduced or absent sprouting could occur in spring.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Heat Stress in Prairie Dropseed

Symptoms

In summer, Prairie Dropseed should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in severe instances, the entire plant could wilt and desiccate.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and dried-out portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
