Signs of Cold Stress in Maypop
Symptoms
Maypop exhibits moderate resilience to cool temperatures and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 70℉. Throughout the winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 32℉, its foliage might begin to sag. In minor instances, recovery is possible, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent exposure to low temperatures, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Maypop
Symptoms
In summer, Maypop needs to be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the foliage's hue lightens, leaf tips may become parched and shriveled, leaves might curl, and the plant's vulnerability to sunburn increases.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
