Signs of Cold Stress in Tomatillo
Symptoms
Tomatillo tolerates cool conditions and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 70℉. In colder months, it needs to be maintained above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate winter damage might be apparent, spring germination could be reduced or entirely absent.
Solutions
In spring, remove any sections that have not germinated.
Signs of Heat Stress in Tomatillo
Symptoms
During warmer months, Tomatillo should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in extreme cases, the entire plant could wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried-out portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
