Signs of Cold Stress in Strawflower
Symptoms
Strawflower tolerates cool temperatures moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. Throughout winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, foliage might begin to sag. Minor cases can recover, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before further exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from cold drafts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Strawflower
Symptoms
In summer, Strawflower should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
