Signs of Heat Stress in Mat amaranth
Symptoms
During summer, Mat amaranth should be maintained below 86℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, tend to curl, become prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the entire plant could wilt and dry out.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
