Signs of Heat Stress in Hardy begonia
Symptoms
During summer, Hardy begonia should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl easily, become prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove any sun-scorched and dried-out portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
