Regional wintering strategies
Yellow Star Grass has strong cold resistance, so special frost protection measures are usually not necessary during winter. However, if the winter temperatures are expected to drop below -25°C, it is still important to provide cold protection. This can be achieved by covering the plant with materials such as soil or straw. Before the first freeze in autumn, it is recommended to water the plant abundantly, ensuring the soil remains moist and enters a frozen state. This helps prevent drought and water scarcity for the plant during winter and early spring.

Signs of Low and High Temperature in Yellow Star Grass

Symptoms of Low Temperature in Yellow Star Grass
Yellow Star Grass is cold-tolerant and thrives best when the temperature is above 5°C. During winter, it should be kept above -20°C. When the temperature falls below -25°C, although there may not be any noticeable changes during winter, there may be a decrease in sprouting or even no sprouting during springtime.
Solutions for Low Temperature in Yellow Star Grass
In spring, remove any parts that have failed to sprout.
Symptoms of High Temperature in Yellow Star Grass
During summer, Yellow Star Grass should be kept below 32°C. When the temperature exceeds 35°C, the leaves of the plant may become lighter in color, prone to curling, susceptible to sunburn, and in severe cases, the entire plant may wilt and become dry.
Solutions for High Temperature in Yellow Star Grass
Trim away the sunburned and dried-up parts. Move the plant to a location that provides shade from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth to create shade. Water the plant in the morning and evening to keep the soil moist.
