Signs of Cold Stress in Egyptian starcluster

Symptoms

Egyptian starcluster favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 45℉, its leaves might lose some color. Following frost exposure, the foliage progressively darkens to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping may appear.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm area for protection against cold. Position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure sufficient light. Furthermore, avoid placing it near heating units or AC vents to prevent overly dry air.

Signs of Heat Stress in Egyptian starcluster

Symptoms

In summer, Egyptian starcluster should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the leaves' hue fades, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
