Signs of Heat Stress in Mediterranean cabbage
Symptoms
In summer, Mediterranean cabbage should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures exceed 85℉, leaves may lighten, curl, suffer sunburn, and in severe cases, the plant may wilt and dry out completely.
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. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
