Signs of Heat Stress in Safflower
Symptoms
During summer, Safflower should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in severe cases, the entire plant might wilt and dry out.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
