What is plant stress in winter?
Plant stress is the plant's response to adverse environmental conditions. In winter, this stress usually occurs gradually and silently, without immediate serious symptoms.
Factors such as cold, persistent humidity, or recent frosts cause a physiological imbalance that limits growth and weakens the plant.
Most common symptoms of stress in plants
Some common signs of plant stress in winter are:
- Growth stopped or very slow
- Dull, yellowed, or fallen leaves

Often these symptoms are confused with "winter dormancy", when in reality the plant is accumulating stress.

- Prolonged low temperatures
- Recent or repeated frosts
