Signs of Cold Stress in Texas mountain laurel
Symptoms
Texas mountain laurel exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In colder months, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, foliage may begin to sag. Minor instances allow for recovery, 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 cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from cold gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Texas mountain laurel
Symptoms
In summer, Texas mountain laurel should be kept below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, leaf coloration fades, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
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. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
