Signs of Cold Stress in Gloxinia
Symptoms
Gloxinia favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 55℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs 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. 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.

Symptoms
In summer, Gloxinia should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, leaf coloration lightens, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun. Water the plant during morning and evening hours to maintain soil moisture.
