Signs of Cold Stress in Chinese mahogany
Symptoms
Chinese mahogany tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures exceed 59℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 41℉, while no immediate winter changes may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Chinese mahogany
Symptoms
In summer, Chinese mahogany should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
