Signs of Heat Stress in Fishtail fern

Symptoms

During summer, Fishtail fern should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, the plant's foliage may lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the whole plant might wilt and desiccate.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. 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.
