Signs of Cold Stress in Macademia
Symptoms
Macademia favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 70℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 45℉, leaves might lose their vibrant color. Following frost damage, they progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping can appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a spot near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.
Signs of Heat Stress in Macademia
Symptoms
In summer, Macademia should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, leaf coloration fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Cut off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Transfer the plant to an area offering shelter from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
