Solutions
In spring, remove any sections that have not sprouted.
Signs of Heat Stress in Licorice
Symptoms
In summer, Licorice should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, curl, suffer sunburn, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and dry out.
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.
