Signs of Cold Stress in Chinese prickly ash

Symptoms

Chinese prickly ash exhibits moderate resilience to cold, flourishing optimally when temperatures range from 59℉ to 77℉. Throughout winter, it should be maintained above 41℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, foliage may darken. In extreme instances, water-soaked tissue death, wilting, and drooping can manifest, with leaves progressively turning brown.

Solutions

When positioning the plant indoors, select a spot near a south-facing window to guarantee sufficient sunlight. If light is inadequate, supplementary lighting can be utilized.
