Signs of Cold Stress in Loquat
Symptoms
Loquat exhibits fair resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild instances allow recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Loquat
Symptoms
In summer, Loquat should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
