Signs of Cold Stress in Indian hawthorn

Symptoms

Indian hawthorn exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. Throughout the winter, it should be maintained above 55℉. Should the temperature drop below 45℉, 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 burlap, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.

Signs of Heat Stress in Indian hawthorn

Symptoms

In summer, Indian hawthorn should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the leaves' hue lightens, leaf tips might become parched and shriveled, leaves could 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. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
