Signs of Cold Stress in Teak
Symptoms
Teak favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 75℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection against cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.

Symptoms
In summer, Teak should be kept below 95℉. When temperatures surpass 100℉, leaf coloration fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering shade from the midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
