Signs of High Temperatures in Swamp milkweed

Symptoms

In summer, Swamp milkweed should be maintained below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in extreme cases, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to keep the soil damp.
