Signs of Cold Stress in Dandelion

Symptoms

Dandelion tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, spring may see reduced or absent sprouting.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that did not sprout successfully.

Signs of Heat Stress in Dandelion

Symptoms

In summer, Dandelion should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl easily, be prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

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