Chestnut friar
Succulents, that is, cacti, succulents, and caudex plants, are generally very chilly. They do not like low temperatures, and less those in which the mercury drops below zero degrees. However, sometimes it is not easy to know if they are having a bad time.
In order to act as soon as possible, I'm going to tell you how to know if my succulent has been cold and what measures to take to avoid losing it.
Brown leaves
Succulents that have leaves, such as Aeonium or Fockea, if they get cold we will know it immediately: they will turn brown, almost overnight, and if the conditions do not improve they will end up being "peeled". To avoid it, It is important to protect them either indoors, in a greenhouse, or with anti-frost fabric.
Fall of leaves
There are some more sensitive species, such as those of the genus Adenium, which will directly lose their leaves as soon as the temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius. If we want to prevent this from happening or from getting worse, it will be necessary to protect them from the cold.
Redness or color change
There are many plants, like the Echeveria, that get really pretty when they get a little cold. There are some that acquire a spectacular reddish tone, others become more pink. But yes, there are others that, on the contrary, will get a bit ugly, with rusty iron color stains. In any case, prevention is always better than cure, and therefore they must be kept protected from low temperatures.
Soft or rotten plant
Both ice and snow destroy the cells of our favorite plants, so it is common that after registering any of these phenomena we begin to notice that they are becoming soft or rotten. In these cases, sometimes you can try to cut clean, let it dry for a week and plant it in a new pot, but they do not always recover.
