Signs of Cold Stress in Coontie
Symptoms
Coontie thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It grows optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, leaves might lose their vibrant color. Following frost damage, they progressively turn brown or black, and the plant may show signs of wilting and drooping.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection from cold. Position it near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

In summer, Coontie should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures rise above 80℉, its leaves will lighten in hue, making the plant more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried out. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant during the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
