Signs of Heat Stress in Steeplebush
Symptoms
Steeplebush does not handle high temperatures well. When temperatures go above 75℉, it might shed many leaves, and in extreme cases, the whole plant could wilt and perish.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are scorched and dried out. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to keep the soil damp.
