Signs of Cold Stress in Silver squill
Symptoms
Silver squill flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. Optimal growth occurs when the temperature is above 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove any frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, trim them, and the plant can be propagated from cuttings. Promptly relocate it indoors to a warm setting, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant sunlight. If light is inadequate, consider using supplementary illumination.
Signs of Heat Stress in Silver squill
Symptoms
In summer, Silver squill should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's development will halt, it will dehydrate, wilt, and be more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Discard any sunburnt or decayed portions. Protect the plant from direct afternoon sun until it recovers and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease watering until new roots start to form.
