Signs of Cold Stress in Common winterberry

Symptoms

Common winterberry tolerates cold moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 20℉, leaves might sag. Mild cases can recover, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Before subsequent cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and build a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.

Signs of Heat Stress in Common winterberry

Symptoms

In summer, Common winterberry should be kept below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, leaves lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Cut off sunburned and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
