Signs of Heat Stress in Common milkweed
Symptoms
In summer, Common milkweed should be maintained below 86℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, 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 fabric. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
