Extreme summer heat can put plants at serious risk of heat stress.Summer can become a real test of endurance for plants in the garden or on the patio. High temperatures, intense sunlight and lack of moisture are the main causes of heat stress, which can lead to wilted leaves, stunted growth and even the death of particularly sensitive plants.
However, in many cases, it is possible to reverse the damage if you act quickly and provide the right care.
How to identify heat stress in plants
Before desperately trying to revive a plant, it is important to confirm that the problem is related to excessive heat.
The most common symptoms include drooping leaves during the hottest part of the day, dry or scorched edges, yellowing, premature loss of flowers or fruit and very slow growth.
