Signs of Heat Stress in Bird's-eye cress
Symptoms
During summer, Bird's-eye cress should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's foliage may lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in extreme cases, the whole plant might wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried 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.
