Indications of Cold Conditions for King palm
Symptoms
King palm favors warm climates and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 40℉, its foliage might lose some color. Following frost damage, the leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping can appear.
Solutions
Remove the sections affected by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from the cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant close to heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
