Signs of Cold Stress in Emerald ripple peperomia

Symptoms

Emerald ripple peperomia favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it must be maintained above 60℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the hue progressively shifts to brown or black, and indications like wilting and drooping might appear.

Solutions

Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a position near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, refrain from placing the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
