Signs of Cold Stress in Small-leaf spiderwort

Symptoms

Small-leaf spiderwort thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost damage, the foliage progressively darkens to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping may 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.
