Signs of Heat Stress in Candelilla
Symptoms
In summer, Candelilla should be maintained below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's foliage may lighten, curl, become prone to sunburn, and in severe instances, the entire plant might wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried-out portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure soil moisture.
