Signs of High Temperatures in Lenten rose

Symptoms

In summer, Lenten rose should be maintained below 60℉. When temperatures go above 70℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl easily, be prone to sunburn, and in severe cases, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.

Solutions

Cut off any sunburned and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
