Signs of Cold Stress in Creeping fig
Symptoms
Creeping fig tolerates cool conditions moderately well, flourishing optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 40℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor instances allow for recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove sections damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and erect a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Creeping fig
Symptoms
In summer, Creeping fig should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, leaves may lighten in color, tips might dry and shrivel, foliage could curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to ensure consistent soil moisture.
