Signs of Cold Stress in Silver Dollar Plant
Symptoms
Silver Dollar Plant flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. Optimal growth occurs when the temperature is above 65℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove any frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, they must be excised, and the plant can be propagated via cuttings. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting, positioning the plant near a south-facing window for abundant light. If natural light is inadequate, supplementary lighting can be used.
