Plant leaves are folding

[marines]

Not sure what the issue is, but it just started doing this. i water them every 3 days and skip a day if it rains.

Looks like heat to me and why every three days?

miracle grow moisture control. and we just had a heat wave the past 3 days where it hit up to 98degrees

because im trying to keep it as natural as possible and thats how often it rains here in the northeast where im at. but they are under lattice so they dont get 12 hours of direct sun so when it does rain, it doesnt go in the pots directly so i water them with mister to amount of rainfall we had

Unfortunately the temp is too high.

Do the leaf edges feel dry/brittle?

Mist them regularly and feed with a good stress reliever after the heatwave is over.

Should be back in no time.

yes the leaves feel really dry, but there is nothing i can do about the heat. so i just have to wait untill it is over? and what is a good stress reliever

i already have a root stimulator, would they be doing the same thing?

 

[mrpeoples]

Rhizatonic is in the first instance a root enhancer, but works well as a stress reliever too

bringing them inside at night to let them cool down wouldnt help would it? since its so hot during the day. only because this is going to be a hot summer and they are already in the shade. i dont want them to die

 

[mrpeoples]

afraid not..... it will not reverse the high temp through the day and subject the plant to a bigger temp swing

ok well ill make sure they get plenty of water tomorrow once it drops a few degrees. is high 80's an ok temp?

 

[marines]

just ordered some of that [FONT=arial, helvetica]Rhizatonic so we will see how it goes[/FONT]

 

[mrpeoples]

i think as long as u have good air flow, them temps won't be too bad on a temporary basis.

let me know how you get on

high 80's works ok for me as long as you provide enough ventilation & assuming you are outside....i think you'll be fine!
