Signs of Heat Stress in Ivy gourd
Symptoms
In summer, Ivy gourd needs temperatures below 86℉. Exceeding 95℉ slows growth, lightens leaf color, and increases sunburn vulnerability.
Solutions
Prune off sun-scorched and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to an area shaded from the afternoon sun. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
