Signs of Cold Stress in Wishbone flower
Symptoms
Wishbone flower tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In colder months, maintain temperatures above 60℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild cases are recoverable, but severe instances 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.

Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
