Signs of Cold Temperatures in Small Nettle

Symptoms

Small Nettle tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, while no immediate changes might be seen in winter, reduced or absent sprouting could occur in spring.

In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.

Signs of Warm Temperatures in Small Nettle

Symptoms

In summer, Small Nettle should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures go above 90℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, get sunburned, and in extreme cases, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot shaded from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to keep the soil damp.
