Signs of Cold Stress in Bloodflower

Symptoms

Bloodflower favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it must be maintained above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the hue progressively shifts to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

Signs of Heat Stress in Bloodflower

Symptoms

In summer, Bloodflower should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the leaves' color lightens, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Transfer the plant to an area offering shelter from the midday and afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
