Signs of Low and High Temperature in Soursop
Symptoms of Low Temperature in Soursop
Soursop has moderate tolerance to low temperatures and thrives best when the temperature is between 20°C and 38°C. During winter, it should be kept above 5°C. When the temperature falls below 1°C, the leaves may darken in color. In severe cases, water-soaked necrosis, wilting, and drooping may occur, and the color of the leaves gradually turns brown.
Solutions for Low Temperature in Soursop
Trim away the frost-damaged parts. Immediately move indoors to a warm environment or set up a makeshift greenhouse for cold protection. When placing the plant indoors, choose a location near a south-facing window to ensure ample
sunlight. If there is insufficient light, you can use supplemental
lighting.
