Signs of Heat Stress in Desert Marigold
Symptoms
During summer, Desert Marigold should be kept below 86℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sun-damaged and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade covering. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
